(BBSRC DTP) Exploring the functional role of thalamic nuclei in memory

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

The thalamus, a highly interconnected brain structure that lies deep inside the brain, is made up of multiple nuclei, damage to which often produces memory disorders, indicating that the nuclei play a critical role in our memory. Read more

BBSRC NLD Doctoral Training Partnership: Brain rhythms that serve as the ‘binder’ for memory and concept formation.

University of Liverpool Faculty of Health and Life Science

Memories are like the internal movies of our lives, allowing us to replay past events or to imagine the future. Unlike movies however, scientists do not yet understand how the brain merges information from the senses to form new memories, nor how it could be stimulated to improve or disrupt memories.

Fluency and Context in Recognition Memory

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

This project relates to a sort of ‘memory illusion’. On a recognition memory test, increasing the perceptual fluency of a test cue increases the likelihood that the word will be endorsed as ‘familiar’, even if it hasn’t been seen in the study phase (and therefore should have been called ‘new’).

Can a tree remember a drought? Understanding the mechanisms of tree memory (CENTA 2024-B6)

University of Birmingham School of Biosciences

Trees are long living, sessile organisms that represent a fundamental component of most of earth ecosystems. Being immobile during their life, trees need to efficiently adapt to changes of environment and to stresses, in order to reach maturity and reproduction. Read more
