10. Neuroscientist records surprising brain 'dialogue' during sleep
    03-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
    A Brown University-led research team has, for the first time, recorded activity inside the cells of the hippocampus while simultaneously measuring activity in the neocortex. Recordings from these two brain regions -- seats of memory creation and storage -- revealed a surprisingly complex pattern of activity. These findings, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, are part of a growing body of evidence that challenges traditional theories of the role of sleep in learning and memory.
