Scientists discover a new class of memory cells for remembering faces By Sun Jul 25 2021 Our brains have sensory cells, which process the faces that we see, and memory cells dedicated to storing data from person encounters. But until now, a hybrid neuron capable of linking vision to memory — and explaining how we recall familiar faces — remained elusive.Share:   Scientists have long searched in vain for a class of brain cells that could explain the visceral flash of recognition that we fee...

Research reveals new class of neurons that links face perception to long-term memory Scientists have long searched in vain for a class of brain cells that could explain the visceral flash of recognition that we feel when we see a very familiar face, like that of our grandmothers. But the proposed "grandmother neuron"--a single cell at the crossroads of sensory perception and memory, capable of prioritizing an important face over the rabble--remained elusive. Now, new research reveals a class of...

  TORONTO -- Researchers from Rockefeller University in the U.S. have discovered a new class of memory cells in the brain that specialize in recognizing a familiar face – similar to the hypothetical “grandmother neuron.” A “grandmother neuron,” a single cell at the crossroads of sensory perception and memory which prioritizes an important face over others, has long remained elusive as scientists have searched for a class of brain cells that could explain the visceral reaction felt...
