Scientists have uncovered a maze of human memory
American scientists for the first time meticulously tracked at what is happening in the human brain during a deep dive into memories.
It turns out that past actions are stored in the head in a random form, and the form ordered and sorted by time of memories - a sort of "directory". About this in an article published in the Journal of Neuroscience, reports RIA Novosti.
"We highly important to understand what do the different regions in our brain at that moment, when we try to remember and look at our internal "directory" memories. Such disorders as Alzheimer's disease or epilepsy, the most destructive impact on the memory of the planet, and the information collected can help to create methods of salvation memories in these patients, and to reveal secondary effects of the latest psychotropic drugs," said the adept Institute of Vanderbilt in Nashville Sean Pauline.
It turns out that every piece of memory is marked extraordinary temporary "tag", which on the basics of working close to indexing in computer information database.
According to the version of Pauline, the main center mental journey into the past" is a special part of the brain that neuroscientists call the mid-parietal lobe (MTL). This opinion is confirmed by other scientific data: defects of this area lead to the development of amnesia and other difficulties with memory.
The authors devised a method that allowed them to monitor the performance of individual parts of the MTL and to reveal the relationship between them. The experience helped scientists to learn that for retrieving memories meets the front part of the MTL, and the activity in its rear part suggests that the brain of a planet passes in a mode deepest memories, "travels into the past", as they call this the paradox of scientific workers.
