Have you ever wondered WHY memories fade away? And why some people are good at remembering facts while others suck at it? If so, you would be interested in thew new paper by Yinan Xu, Florian Sense, @van-rijn.org, @chantelpratphd.bsky.social, and myself doi.org/10.1371/jour... 👇 🧪
Default mode network connectivity predicts individual differences in long-term forgetting: Evidence for storage degradation, not retrieval failure
Author summary Why do some people forget faster than others? This study investigates individual differences in long-term memory forgetting by linking them to patterns of brain connectivity. Although m...

Linking neural population formatting to function
Animals capable of complex behaviors tend to have more distinct brain areas than simpler organisms, and artificial networks that perform many tasks tend to self-organize into modules (1-3). This sugge...
