People recall more information after sleep than after an equally long period of wakefulness.
This sleep benefit in episodic memory has been documented in almost a century of …

“Working memory” refers to a vast set of mnemonic processes and associated brain
networks, relates to basic intellectual abilities, and underlies many real-world functions …

Aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are associated with progressive brain disorganization.
Although structural asymmetry is an organizing feature of the cerebral cortex it is unknown …

Cortical thinning occurs throughout the entire life and extends to late-life neurodegeneration,
yet the neurobiological substrates are poorly understood. Here, we used a virtual-histology …

The postpartum period is associated with structural and functional plasticity in brain regions
involved in parenting. While one study identified an increase in gray matter volume during …

Schemas provide a scaffold onto which we can integrate new memories. Previous research
has investigated the brain activity and connectivity underlying schema-related memory …

Cortical asymmetry is a ubiquitous feature of brain organization that is subtly altered in some
neurodevelopmental disorders, yet we lack knowledge of how its development proceeds …

Change in hippocampal function is a major factor in life span development and decline of
episodic memory. Evidence indicates a long-axis specialization where anterior …

The study of functional connectivity and declarative memory has lately been focused on
finding biomarkers of neuropsychological diseases. However, little is known about its …

The fate of a memory is partly determined at initial encoding. However, the behavioral
consequences of memory formation are often tested only once and shortly after learning …
