"The astonishing nature of memory is that every recollection is a physical trace, imprinted into brain tissue by the molecular machinery of neurons." @ajdinahalilovic.bsky.social: www.quantamagazine.org/the-molecula...
The Molecular Bond That Helps Secure Your Memories | Quanta Magazine
How do memories last a lifetime when the molecules that form them turn over within days, weeks or months? An interaction between two proteins points to a molecular basis for memory.

Learning science has long recognized the virtues of testing. However, most studies have focused on the benefits of tests taken after studying. Explore the advantages of testing before learning in my recent piece for Psyche Magazine.

It may sound illogical, but growing evidence shows the benefits of testing yourself before you start learning new material

If you were to imagine a sound—any sound—how clearly could you hear it in your mind? For some people, the answer is "not at all". In 2021, Professor Anthony Lambert coined the term "anauralia" to describe the absence of auditory imagery.

Nice write-up of our recent paper using fMRI data from the movie 500 Days of Summer, where we found evidence that the brain does on-the-fly unscrambling of temporal information to put a nonlinear narrative back in chronological order: nautil.us/your-brain-w...
Your Brain Wants a Linear Story
Artists may jumble time for dramatic effect. But your unconscious is always putting the narrative in order.
