That theory posits that, if memories were shrubs, the non-REM phase of sleep helps them grow taller and stronger. The REM ...

Every reactivation re-encodes the memory, and depending on what cortical neurons are engaged, can strengthen, weaken or update particular memory features. On the surface, this new model sounds a ...

A new hypothesis called the “quantum memory matrix” could solve long-standing physics questions, including the Black Hole ...

Indeed, this view is central to the theory of Eric Kandel, who in his Nobel Prize address reinforced the central position of this model in forming long-term memory.

Although we know sleep is essential to our physical and mental well-being, it remains an incredibly enigmatic behavior, scientifically speaking.

A new model suggests that astrocytes might be used in computation, coordinating with neurons and connecting synapses in networks.

But viewing consciousness through the lens of a memory system could provide new clues to brain disorders, such as stroke, epilepsy, dementia, and others that impair memory or consciousness. The theory ...

Researchers at Aalto University have developed a new quantum theory of gravity which describes gravity in a way that's compatible with the standard model of particle physics, opening the door to ...

For over a century, Einstein’s theory of general relativity has shaped our understanding of the universe. One of its more fascinating predictions is gravitational memory, the idea that space ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity suggests that the "memory" of ancient events, such as black hole mergers, may be etched into the fabric of space-time by gravitational waves. New research ...
