Medicine & TechnologyResearchers recently revealed how incredible powers of learning play a vital role in one's played back memories. It has not been fully understood though, how the human brain absorbs new skills.
Researchers from Yale University found that the hippocampus, the brain's memory center, can already recognize and learn patterns as young as three months.
Challenging conventional theories on how neural information is relayed in the brain via one-way street. A study shows that when the receiving post-synaptic dendrites are overloaded the pre-synaptic axons hold off the delivery of the signal and send it first in the wrong direction.
The hippocampus is part of the limbic system and is responsible for storing short-term memory into long-term memory, as well as spatial memory which enables navigation.
