Researchers Discover Brain Stores Memories in Three Distinct Copies
Study reveals how different neuron groups in the hippocampus manage memory persistence and adaptability.
- Early-born neurons create long-lasting but initially weak memory copies.
- Late-born neurons store strong memories that fade over time.
- Intermediate neurons produce stable memory copies.
- Memory copy activation influences the ability to modify memories.
- Findings could inform treatments for traumatic memories and memory loss.
