Cortical stimulation will enhance memory

American experts have achieved the first encouraging results in the study of dementia through brain stimulation, thus helping "operating center" to receive information and form memory. An easier way.

Experts hope to soon create a fake neuron device, which can help people "load" the brain with necessary information and support memory recovery.

Scientists at the University of California Los Angeles have conducted research on the brain activity of patients with epilepsy and the effects of nerve stimuli on the cortex. These patients have implanted electrodes in the brain to record brain responses during a seizure.

Cortical stimulation will enhance memory

During the experiment, patients had to play video games to drive a taxi to deliver goods to different places in the town. After receiving neuron stimulation in the cortex, patients showed positive signs, they identified delivery points and identified faster routes.

Speaking to reporters, Professor Itzhak Fried, director of the study, said memory loss and inability to "load" information is one of the most troublesome diseases for humans. He pointed out that the initial research results have shown that it is possible to establish an appropriate mechanism for memory recovery in the elderly or early dementia.

Scientists say in the next step of the study, they will continue to stimulate neurons in the central area of ​​the brain and hope to achieve positive results.

The results of this study were published in the New England Journal of Medicine on February 8.
