"The Unusual 'Signal' Humans Emit Before Telling a Lie, Unveiled by Scientists"

Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago have discovered that the hippocampus, a part of the brain involved in memory, sends a distinct electrical signal before a false memory or unintended lie is told. By studying the electrical activity in the hippocampus of epilepsy patients, the researchers found that the rhythm changed when subjects recalled a list of words correctly or incorrectly, indicating the ability of the hippocampus to distinguish between true and false memories. This research could contribute to understanding how the brain retrieves memories, particularly in cases of distress-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder.
