NIH scientists try to crack the brain's memory codes

(NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) In a pair of studies, scientists at the National Institutes of Health explored how the human brain stores and retrieves memories. One study suggests that the brain etches each memory into unique firing patterns of individual neurons. Meanwhile, the second study suggests that the brain replays memories faster than they are stored.
