Brain Signals of Good Memory Performance Revealed

medF

People differ in their memory performance. Researchers at the Faculty of Medicine have now discovered that certain brain signals are related to these differences.

Certain brain regions play a crucial role in memory processes. However, it was previously unclear whether these regions show different activities in storing information in people with a good memory than in those with a weaker memory. A research team from the Molecular and Cognitive Neurosciences (MCN) research platform at the Department of Biomedicine, led by Prof. Dr. Dominique de Quervain and Prof. Dr. Andreas Papassotiropoulos, has investigated this question and has now published the results in the scientific journal"Nature Communications".
