Speak, memory: Research challenges theory of memory storage
14th Nov 2006, 22:36 GMT
During sleep, freshly minted memories move from the hippocampus, part of the "old" brain, to the neocortex, or "new" brain, for long-term storage. This has been the reigning theory for decades. Brown University research provides the strongest proof yet of this interaction between the old and new brains -- and offers surprising evidence that challenges critical details of this theory of learning and memory. Results appear in Nature Neuroscience.
