• Resumen

  • Heaven discusses a study of memory processing. The first study to visualize memories being retrieved live in the whole brain has not only debunked the "three-second memory" myth about fish, but also sheds light on the brain processes involved in forming long-term memories. By working with zebrafish, which are partially transparent, Hitoshi Okamoto at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Wako, Japan, and colleagues were able to observe the roles played by different parts of the brain during memory processing.
