In a study published in the journal Nature, Norwegian researchers have found that the brain stores memories in a specific sequence, rather than as snapshots. The researchers discovered a pattern of nerve cells that moved in a coordinated wave, organizing themselves into ordered sequences, which forms the prototype for how the brain stores episodic memory.
Episodic Memory in Rodents
Researchers at Indiana University have found the first evidence that rodents can call upon their episodic memory, the ability to remember specific events and their temporal context.
