Brain Ripples Help Segment Experience Into Memories

A research team from the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Barcelona, the UB Institute of Neurosciences (UBneuro) and the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) has identified, for the first time in humans, and in a realistic environment, a key neurophysiological mechanism in memory formation: ripple-type brain waves -high-frequency electrical oscillations that mark and organize the different episodes or fragments of information that the brain stores as memories.
