A sense of self-awareness is strongly involved in episodic memory. It’s the feeling of personally remembering.

A new study into how different parts of memory work in the brain has shown that the same brain areas are involved in ...

A surprising new brain study suggests that remembering life events and recalling facts may rely on the same neural machinery.

A new study challenges the long-standing belief that episodic and semantic memory rely on distinct brain systems.

A new brain imaging study reveals that remembering facts and recalling life events activate nearly identical brain networks.

Studying the inner workings of the human mind is always a thorny endeavor, and models for how our brains operate are continually being reexamined, revised, and reconfigured. While neurologists have ...

Researchers have investigated the shared and unique neural processes that underlie different types of long-term memory: general semantic, personal semantic and episodic memory. Long-term memory can be ...

Recent research suggests that repeated "replays" of episodic memories—i.e., memories of personal episodes from our past—can help improve our ability to visually distinguish between scenes, faces, and ...
