Scientist Luigi De Gennaro of the University of Rome, coordinator of the research team, said that his group had identified areas of the " almond " ( Amygdala ) lobe and " seahorse " lobster ( Hippocampus ) that had a relationship. relate to strange and lively dreams that people often remember.
Almond lobes are an almond-shaped area, which specializes in handling emotions and helps engrave emotional memories. " Seahorse " lobes are a primitive structure deep in the brain and play the largest role in processing information in the form of memories.
