A “switchboard” in the hippocampus may explain how the brain learns without erasing memories

With all due respect to electrical signals, the language of the brain is chemistry. In a pioneering study, researchers at Tel Aviv University have managed to use imaging devices to see this chemistry in action.

Is your memory real?

  • One response
In an experiment with 421 participants who were required to recall words after a minute and a half and after a day, more than 4,000 “memory justifications” were collected. Despite a decrease in the number of items recalled, the linguistic content and detail of the justifications for the items that were correctly recalled remained the same.

Humans or machine: Who is better at evaluating memories?

Research from Ben-Gurion University reveals that humans can assess the veracity of others' memories at the same level as language processing models, and in some cases even better than them.
New research suggests that the brain creates at least three copies of each memory. This also includes those encoded by early-formed neurons, which appear purple in a microscope cross-section of a mouse hippocampus. (Image credit: Biozentrum, University of Basel)

New research in mice suggests that the brain creates multiple copies of memories, allowing it to regulate their change over time
New research shows great apes have an extraordinary social memory, recognizing former group members even after more than 25 years. This finding, which indicates a significant cognitive similarity between great apes and humans, emphasizes the depth and duration of social ties in our animal relatives. The study found the longest-lasting non-human social memories ever recorded. Photo: Johns Hopkins University
