MIT Study Reveals Mice Store 2 Copies of Memories in Brain
A recent study on mice by MIT has revealed that memories in the brain are formed simultaneously in two different parts. It was previously believed that short-term memories are stored in the hippocampus region, some of which are later on transferred to the brain's cortex for long-term storage. Researchers believe that these findings, which contradicts the decades-old hypothesis, could apply to humans as well and might help understand Alzheimer's disease.
