The Discovery of the Principle of Timing the Activation of Memories in the Brain

13 Oct 2011

A Publication of a Czech Neurophysiologist in the Journal Nature
 
How is the relevant memory activated in the brain? An answer is provided by a just published work in the specialised journal Nature (Theta-paced flickering between place-cell maps in the hippocampus). Doctor Karel Ježek from the Institute of Physiology of the ASCR in cooperation with a team of researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim (NTNU) and the International Institute for Advanced Studies in Trieste (SISSA), led by Prof. Edvard Moser, discovered a method allowing the detailed description of the process of the activation of memory on the level of individual neurons.
