I don't quite follow their leap from seeing three distinct regions and types of neurons firing to the proposal that each is storing a separate copy of the memory.
Anyone have an idea of how they make that leap? Or are the researchers getting ahead of their skis, assuming that neurons lighting up means the memory is directly stored there as opposed to those neurons simply being part of the process?

- az09mugen 2y agoMaybe there is a thing like the precogs in Minority Report, the storage is presumably made in different places because memory can deteriorate and when you need to recall it there is a "vote"/synchronization between those different places ?
- _heimdall 2y agoAnything is possible, I just don't see scientific data in the research that points to anything other than "these areas light up." It's a huge field of research though, I'm by no means an expert.
