You can use up all the storage on your phone or max out your computer's drive, but can you use up all the memory space in your brain? Despite how you might feel before an exam or after a sleepless ...

Scientists at Skoltech developed a new mathematical model of memory that explores how information is encoded and stored.

Scientists from Skoltech created a mathematical model and conducted an analysis, the results of which showed that the human brain works better with seven senses compared to using five of them. This is ...

Five senses might have served us well through evolution, but if memory is any clue, 7 could be the key to thinking smarter. Whether you’re a neuroscientist, AI engineer, or just someone fascinated by ...

Skoltech developed a mathematical model showing memory performs best in seven dimensions—equal to having seven senses. The ...

Researchers found a powerful protein that helps strengthen the messaging system of the brain. The discovery could lead to new ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- The human brain contains about 86 billion neurons. These cells fire electrical signals that help the brain store memories and send information and commands throughout the brain and ...

Spatial memory — the ability to recall “where” — is one of the first cognitive skills to decline in aging and a hallmark of ...

Recent work has revealed some of the many crucial functions of astrocytes, brain cells that were once thought to play primarily supportive roles for neurons. Astrocytes do handle debris around neurons ...

Concussions and repeated mild head trauma are linked to long-term cognitive problems. Protecting the head limits cumulative ...
