We fail to retrieve a memory because of a discrepancy between the retrieval context and the encoding context. When we’re unhappy, we find it difficult to remember happy events.

This valuable manuscript addresses the longstanding question of how the brain maintains serial order in working memory, proposing a biologically grounded model based on synaptic augmentation ...

These findings not only deepen our understanding of memory encoding and retrieval but also provide insights into the hippocampus’s role as a coordinator and its interaction with the neocortex.

Memory doesn’t seem to flow very well in two directions. If a brain is busy encoding, it’s going to be weaker at retrieval, and vice-versa. So the students primed with a new scene struggled to ...

Discover how chronic stress reshapes memory encoding and retrieval, potentially leading to memory generalization and ...

Cinnamon Bidwell and Tim Curran's R01 NIH Sponsored Grant 'ERP Studies of Acute Influences of THC and CBD on Memory Encoding and Retrieval Processes'. Cinnamon and Tim are ICS Pis on this multi-PI ...

Activity in the hippocampus, precuneus, visual cortices, and other language-related frontal regions of the brain suggested memory retrieval mechanisms were more strongly encoded in the paper group.
