With the deepening of exploration, experts have gradually mastered the software of brain archiving system more clearly and completely. One of the main factors is the hippocampus in the brain, which is an annular outer fold area in the cerebral cortex. It is only 3 cm long, but it is closely integrated with other parts of the brain. People with damaged hippocampus are often accompanied by serious memory problems, so scientists have been paying attention to hippocampus since 1950s.
Experts from the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom found that they had a general understanding of the scientific research on building new memories in the hippocampus and nearby brain regions. When epilepsy patients undergo brain surgery, scientists use this precious opportunity to show the bubbles and cracks produced by the work of individual brain somatic cells. Scientists have found that if the patient's brain nerve can be obsessed with fighting for a special celebrity, such as Clint Eastwood, once he is handed a photo of Clint in front of the Statue of Liberty in the United States, the patient's brain nerve can "practice" taking action when he sees the Statue of Liberty. It is not difficult to see that individual cranial nerves in hippocampus play an important role in generating new memories.
Second, the scientific research of brain memory storage However, it is also very important to encapsulate the lateral cerebral cortex of hippocampus, which is much larger than hippocampus and can achieve a lot of work goals from perceiving the world to exercising limbs. When we experience something, such as a trip to the seaside, different blockchains in the cerebral cortex will be activated to help us solve different memory elements: meeting friends, listening to red-billed gulls and feeling the breeze. So many fragments will spread in the cerebral cortex. In order to remember these experiences, the brain needs to archive some quotations for later reference. Scientists generally believe that the archiving of the brain is done by the hippocampus.
Austrian neuroscientist George Bouzac emphasized in his book The Rhythm of the Brain published in 2006: "If you imagine the cerebral cortex as a huge public library, then the hippocampus is a librarian." Just like some books piled randomly on long shelves, the memories of key points of playing on the beach in broad daylight will be scattered in the cerebral cortex in disorder. The function of hippocampus is to keep these key points related to play and archive them, so as to find the key points of memory that are convenient for play anytime and anywhere when needed, just like a book with good reference.
With the help of multifunctional magnetic resonance imaging, scientists have made a detailed scientific study of the internal structure of the brain to understand how the archiving operating system of the brain works. His scientific research results are published in the latest issue of Nature News.
Dr Aidan Horner of University College London, UK, conducted an experiment. He asked participants to learn and memorize some fictional plots, and obtained strong direct evidence by using brain scanner for the first time, which confirmed the existence of "progressive way" in hippocampus of human brain. The way of proceeding refers to the thinking system behind a certain situation, that is, a special scene of memory-perhaps smelling salt in the air-will evoke memories of other scenes like a flood.
