| summary | Is there a code in the brain that process external stimuli? Can we use this code to implant false perceptions, emotional memories? In this talk I will show that, by simply knowing the identity of the cells that are responsible for encoding a specific external stimulus, we can create a memory of an event never experiences before. When a memory is formed, the brain under goes a substantial rearrangement at both the synaptic and systems level to support the consolidation of the memory trace and its recallat a remote time point. What are the regions involved during the process? I will explore a graph theory analysis of memory networks to show that this approach opens new doors in the discovery of brain regions and pathways involved in memory acquisition and consolidation. |
