    Nose Breathing Enhances Memory Consolidation
    Breathing through the nose may improve the transfer of experience to long-term memory, finds a study of human adults.
  • Diagram comparing participants’ brain activity to how well they remembered the essays they read, the researchers found successful memory of the text was associated with deactivation of two sets of brain regions: the salience network at the sentence level and the default mode network at the paragraph level. These deactivations may indicate a mechanism by which the brain filters out irrelevant information during reading in order to focus on committing the text to memory.

    How We Remember What We Read
    The results of two human experiments reveal patterns of brain activity associated with successful memory of a just-read text.
  • Temporal overview of study design and effects of CSS on neurobehavioral performance in P301S mutant mice. A, Schematic of the CSS paradigm, where total sleep deprivation (SD, red bars) occurred at the onset of the first three lights-on (light blue) periods of the week (L1, L2, and L3) for 8 consecutive hours. Mice were returned to home cages for the last 4 h of the L1, L2, and L3 periods and the ensuing lights off (dark blue bars, D1, D2, and D3) periods. Mice were left undisturbed in home cages for days 4–7 each week. The pattern was repeated weekly for 4 consecutive weeks.

    Life is Like a Box of Hippocampal Scenes
    A neuroimaging study of human participants watching the 1994 film Forrest Gump and Alfred Hitchcock's 1961 television drama Bang! You're Dead suggests an important role for the hippocampus in segmenting our continuous everyday experience into discrete events for storage in long-term memory.
