Brain circuits connected with memory discovered

Link: Brain circuits connected with memory discovered

A new study published last week in Science reveals the discovery of a brain pathway that helps us link events that happen close together and play a role in memories.The research, led by Dr. Junghyup Suh from the Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology found the connection between the hippocampus and the entorhinal cortex. The entorhinal cortex receives the information from areas around the brain and then passes the information to the hippocampus.
