A context-driven memory model simulates a wide range of characteristics of waking and sleeping hippocampal replay, providing a new account of how and why replay occurs.

The old school way of learning and remembering something is studying followed by a test. Now, a study tells us curiosity is ...

For decades, dopamine has been celebrated in neuroscience as the quintessential "reward molecule"—a chemical herald of ...

The production effect refers to the robust finding that words read aloud, rather than those read silently, are more effectively encoded and later retrieved. This phenomenon is attributed to the ...

It is now understood that the hippocampus is closely linked to learning and memory (Doidge, 2015; Suzuki, 2015). However, this was not always the case. One prominent experiment investigating memory, ...
