Engineering junior Jonathan Wallace created and launched Engram, an AI assistant that builds a persistent model of a user’s goals, projects, and thinking patterns.

Neuroscientists and psychologists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports learning and the encoding of ...

Our experiences leave traces in the brain, stored in small groups of cells called engrams. Engrams are thought to hold the information of a memory and are reactivated when we remember, which makes ...

Japanese scientists have found that age—related decline in long-term memory is not caused by its disappearance, but by ...

Infantile amnesia is the global loss of episodic and contextual memories formed in early life. Our research shows that the engrams storing these memories endure in the brain into adulthood (in mice), ...

Why are we able to recall only some of our past experiences? A new study led by Jun Nagai at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science in Japan has an answer. Surprisingly, it turns out that the brain cells ...

Schematic model showing how memory is consolidated in the prefrontal cortex and how circuitry through the amygdala shifts as hippocampal engram cells become silent and cortical engrams become active.
