Memory and Neural Mechanisms

Memory and Neural Mechanisms is a research topic within Cognitive Neuroscience. Science Explorer counts 44k research works in it since 1950. 9.8% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers explores the neural mechanisms underlying memory formation, consolidation, reconsolidation, and retrieval, with a focus on the role of the hippocampus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex. It also delves into the neural basis of spatial navigation and the interplay between memory and navigation processes in the brain.
