The Rajasethupathy lab’s recent research reveals a cascade of molecular timers that determine whether short-term impressions consolidate into long-term memory, with implications for memory-related diseases. (Credit: Matthew Septimus)
Your memories are governed by hidden timers inside your brain
Neuroscientists have long posited that memory functions like an on/off switch—either your brain remembers something or it doesn’t. Priya Rajasethupathy’s team discovered why the truth is more compl...
