Working memory is what allows humans to juggle different pieces of information in short-term scenarios, like making a mental ...

A new study reveals that working memory limitations stem from learning challenges rather than storage capacity.

Little is known about the associated brain activation during these sleep rhythms, and even less about their functional implications. In this study, we investigated the brain-wide activation underlying ...

Statistical analyses of the baseline evaluations were applied cross-sectionally to determine the relationship between fight exposure variables and volumes of the hippocampus, amygdala, thalamus, ...

More specifically, they investigated the thalamic dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN), the primary interface for visual signals from the retina to the visual cortex. "It's long been known ...
