Identify areas of the brain that store social memories

Scientists from McGill University (Canada) and Paris University (France) have identified the brain region storing social memories such as festivals, encounters, controversies, but happy moments and social interactions using magnetic resonance imaging.

Professor Martin Lepage explained that the area inside the frontal cortex of the frontal cortex has previously been known to involve processing of data associated with social life. But so far scientists do not know that this brain region also plays a role in storing memories of social data.

The area inside the frontal cortex of the frontal cortex (blue) has been identified as a place to store social memories.

Scientists have measured the brain activity of 15 volunteers as they are performing memory experiments and viewing photos of people interacting interchangeably with non-human landscapes. As a result, they identified the region in the frontal cortex, which is the key mechanism to rejuvenate social memories from an image.

The efficiency that our brain processes, stores and restores social events and relationships is an important factor that helps to adapt to society. Many areas of the brain, including the direct hippocampus, work in learning and memory functions.

Other data collected by the research groups confirmed this association with the frontal lobes of the frontal area and how we feel and feel for others.

The study may help to understand some psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and autism.
