How Brain Records Memories The hippocampus is an obscure section of the brain where memories are recorded,
Scientists have believed always that the information created in the hippocampus was sporadic until now. New experiments held at University college London reveal a way of deciphering hippocampus activity, resulting in a crude system for oereading thoughts.
The system works by scanning the brain as each subject navigates a simulated reality; the resultant data reveals exactly where the subject was simulated in the reality at any given time. http://www. guardian co uk/science/2009/mar 12/mind-reading-brain-scans-memories http://www. world-science. net
To be fair to whoever came up with the common name seahorse it's a bit more accurate than the direct translation of the animal's Latin genus name Hippocampus
At the same time the tiny bird's hippocampus balloons by 30 percent as new nerve cells pop up in this part of the brain which is responsible for spatial organization
In mammals caffeine has been shown to affect circuits in the brain's memory center the hippocampus.
Cells in the brains of insects are similar to neurons in the hippocampus. To see how caffeine affected these cells the researchers recorded the electrical activity of honeybee brains bathed in a caffeine-containing liquid.
and sends its output up to the hippocampus which is known for its roles in memory and navigation.
But in contrast to other regions of the brain such as the vertebrate hippocampus the sensory responses in the MB are few in number and relatively weak.
These have found for instance that orientation relies on place cells--neurons located in the hippocampus a part of the brain involved in memory especially spatial memory.
Measuring the activity of hippocampus neurons in the bats'brains revealed that the representation of three-dimensional space is similar to that in two dimensions:
