I wish I could share the stuff behind the paywall, but memory is a very interesting question in Neuroscience. I am a neuroradiologist and I still learn about truly incredible phenomena that challenge my preconceived notions about how the brain functions. For example, we had a case recently of "transient global amnesia" and although initially we thought the MRI was normal... more careful review showed a tiny infarct in the hippocampus, a structure critical in memory. Here's a paper behind the paywall discussing a similar case report: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15746236 Or consider the fact that the cerebellum is a lot more crucial in global brain function than was previously taught. It's really exciting, cutting-edge work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellar_cognitive_affective... |
