A Tiny Pulse Of Electricity Can Help The Brain Form Lasting Memories
A little electrical brain stimulation can go a long way in boosting memory.
The key is to deliver a tiny pulse of electricity to exactly the right place at exactly the right moment, a team reports in Tuesday's Nature Communications.
"We saw a 15 percent improvement in memory," says Michael Kahana, a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and an author of the study.
