Brains are a mazy network of overlapping circuits -- some pathways encourage activity while others suppress it. While earlier studies focused more on excitatory circuits, inhibitory circuits are now ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

Researchers have learned a lot about how memory works. Their insights form the basis of clever strategies that help us ...

People want to know how they can improve their memory. Computer-based “brain-training?” Doing crossword puzzles? Eating blueberries? The one method that has strong evidence-based support is simple: ...

We all know the struggle: A hectic day, a million tasks, 10,000 things to remember. And yes, we have reminder apps on our phones, sticky notes on our computers, and daily journals to help us manage it ...
