Neuronal Synchronization in Memory Formation and Recall
Originally Published 5 months ago — by Neuroscience News
Researchers studying epilepsy patients found that nerve cells in the medial temporal lobe synchronize their firing with slow brain waves, known as theta rhythms, during both learning and recall, suggesting this synchronization is a general feature of memory processing rather than a predictor of successful recall. The findings deepen understanding of brain rhythms in memory and could inform future treatments for memory disorders.
