Memories of places “drift” across the brain as they are carried by different sets of neurons over time, a new study in mice suggests. Historically, neuroscientists thought that memories of locations and features of our immediate environment were encoded by specific “place cells.” These place cells, located in a key memory center called the hippocampus, light up when a mammal …

The Brain’s Ripple Effect: How Memories Are Structured

The Brain’s Ripple Effect: How Memories Are Structured

Summary: Researchers have identified ripple-type brain waves as key to how humans segment and store memories. By recording brain activity in epilepsy patients watching a TV episode, they found ripples marked event boundaries in the hippocampus while supporting information processing in cortical areas. This segmentation acts like punctuation, helping organize experiences into coherent episodes. The findings may inform therapies for …
