Our brains are organs composed of dynamic networks ofcells, always in a state of flux due to growing up, aging, degeneration, regeneration, everyday noise, and learning. The challenge for scientists is to identify the "difference that makes a difference" for forming a memory—the change in a...
What process(es) allow information to be stored in the neurons? How does the brain differentiate between electrochemical messages it sends between neurons? How do neurons firing in the brain produce qualia? How do memories stored in our brains as neuron connections get translated to conscio...
To Nader and his colleagues, the experiment supports the idea that a memory is re-formed in the process of calling it up. “From our perspective, this looks a lot like memory reconsolidation,” says Oliver Hardt, a postdoctoral researcher in Nader’s lab. Hardt and Nader say something simil...
Which region of the brain affects semantic memory? How do memories stored in our brains as neuron connections get translated to conscious things and events? How are neurons changing when the brain is learning? How do thoughts originate in the billions of neurons that compo...
whether different types of memory are stored in different regions of our brains()5. Which of the following can be used to fill in the blank in the last paragraph? A. an ability that one is born with B. a task that takes a long time to complete C. a skill that, once learned, is...
Storing information is an important function of our brains and scientists are always looking at ways to improve it but also to stop it deteriorating. Neil and Rob discuss ways of improving your memory and teach you new vocabulary - that they hope you'll remember later! This week's question ...
As it turns out, different types of memories are stored in distinct regions of our brains. Long-term memory is divided into two types: declarative and procedural. There are two types of declarative memory: Recollections of experiences such as the day we started school and our first kiss are ...
I learned from today's biology class that our brain can store informations in a way similar with how information can be stored in a computer.That is the ability to store knowledge that enables us to think.If we are unable to remember which has just been said,we will be able to carry ...
Long-Term Memory: This is where information is stored for a longer period, from hours to years. Important dates, your favorite song lyrics, and how to ride a bike are all stored in your long-term memory. Language and Memory: The Connection ...
Memories are created through the connections between the neurons in our brains. The growth of new connections or strengthening of these connections between nerve cells, known as synapses, can help information to become stored as a memory. When you rehearse or review information, this explains why ...
