A new brain imaging study reveals that remembering facts and recalling life events activate nearly identical brain networks. Researchers expected clear differences but instead found strong overlap ...

Researchers have investigated the shared and unique neural processes that underlie different types of long-term memory: general semantic, personal semantic and episodic memory. Long-term memory can be ...

It's easy to forget important events like a work deadline or an anniversary, but understanding how memory works can help. Cognitive psychologist Endel Tulving introduced the idea of episodic and ...

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 ...

Quantum computers still face limits when it comes to storing information. Researchers at ETH Zurich are now turning to ...
