he study demonstrates that, like a computer system with a backup, our brain creates redundant copies of memories in different types of neurons. This discovery could potentially help survivors of traumatic events ease painful memories or even recover lost ones, reports newatlas.com.
Scientists, observing the brains of mice, found that a single memory is stored in three groups of neurons simultaneously. These groups develop at different stages of life—early neurons, late neurons, and an intermediate group that forms between them.
The researchers
discovered that memories stored in early neurons become stronger over
time, while those stored in late neurons are initially strong but
gradually become less accessible to the brain. The most stable memories
are stored in the intermediate neurons, demonstrating the greatest
longevity....<<<Read More>>>...
