The neuroscientist working on ‘zapping’ away unwanted memories “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” might not be fiction for much longer, if memory researcher Steve Ramirez gets his way.

Their findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggest that the hippocampus helps to shape future behavior via two connected processes, known as memory composition and hippocampal replay.

Researchers aimed to record activity in the hippocampus — the portion of the brain associated with emotions, memory and the autonomic nervous system.

Emotion drives understanding and connection. A funny or relatable meme triggers dopamine—the same brain chemical responsible for motivation and memory. Memes say more with less.

A team of scientists has unveiled how the hippocampus orchestrates multiple memory processes, including encoding new information, forming memories, and retrieving them.

These findings not only deepen our understanding of memory encoding and retrieval but also provide insights into the hippocampus’s role as a coordinator and its interaction with the neocortex.
