• For the Brain, Remembering Is Like Reliving - NYTimes.com: Scientists have for the first time recorded individual brain cells in the act of summoning a spontaneous memory, revealing not only where a remembered experience is registered but also, in part, how the brain is able to recreate it. The recordings demonstrate that these spontaneous memories reside in some of the same neurons that fired most furiously when the recalled event had been experienced. Researchers had long theorized as much but until now had only indirect evidence. For the brain, remembering is a lot like doing at least in the short term. The experiment, being reported Friday in the journal Science, is likely to open a new avenue in the investigation of Alzheimer?s disease and other forms of dementia, some experts said, as well as help explain how some memories seemingly come out of nowhere. The researchers were even able to identify specific memories in subjects a second or two before the people themselves reported having them.
