An international team has successfully determined with a level of precision
never achieved before the location in the brain where memories are generated.
The team was able to pinpoint this location down to specific circuits of the
human brain.
The results and method of the study is likely to assist in acquiring a better
understanding of the effects Alzheimer’s disease has on the brain.
“We have been able to locate the generation of human memories to certain
neuronal layers within the hippocampus and the entorhinal cortex. We were able
to determine which neuronal layer was active,” explained Emrah Duzel, director,
Institute of Cognitive Neurology and Dementia Research at University of
Magdeburg, Germany.
For their study, the scientists used a particularly accurate type of magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) technology. They examined the brains of persons who had
volunteered to participate in a memory test.
“Previously used MRI techniques were not precise enough to capture this
directional information. Hence, this is the first time we have been able to show
where in the brain the doorway to memory is located,” noted Prof. Duzel.
