NIH scientists have used electrical recordings to study how the human brain remembers. In two studies, scientists from the National Institutes of Health explored how the human brain stores and retrieves memories. A study suggests that the brain etches each memory into unique firing patterns of individual neurons. Meanwhile, the second study suggests that the brain replays memories faster than they are stored.
