Memories might be lost if two crucial brain areas fail to sync: Research
Updated : 2 years, 12 months ago IST
Many unique groups of neurons connected inside and across crucial areas of the brain aid in learning, remembering, and retrieving memories. A recent study led by the universities of Bristol and Heidelberg showed that if these neuronal assemblies fail to sync up at the correct time, memories
