Memories aren't static in the brain — they 'drift' over time
SMRTR summary
A new study in mice challenges long-held beliefs about memory storage in the brain. Researchers found that memories of places "drift" across neurons over time, with only 5-10% of cells consistently representing a location. This drift may help the brain separate similar experiences and track time passage. The findings could have implications for understanding age-related memory decline and potential ways to maintain memory function.
