Brain’s “memory center” is needed to recognize image sequences, but not single sights
July 26, 2021MIT
A new MIT study of how a mammalian brain remembers what it sees shows that while individual images are stored in the visual cortex, the ability to recognize a sequence of sights critically depends on guidance from the hippocampus, a deeper structure strongly associated with memory but shrouded in mystery about exactly how.
By suggesting that the hippocampus isn’t needed for basic storage of images so much as identifying the chronological relationship they may have, the new research, published in
Current Biology, can bring neuroscientists closer to understanding how the brain coordinates long-term visual memory across key regions.
