Study reveals skills related memory persists in a patient with amnesia.
People with neurodevelopmental disorders such as ASD, OCD and dyslexia appear to compensate for dysfunction by relying on declarative memory.
Researchers have discovered how to store diverse forms of artificial short-term memories in isolated brain tissue. Using isolated pieces of rodent brain tissue, the researchers demonstrated that they could form a memory of which one of four input pathways was activated.
