For the Brain, Remembering Is Like Reliving

Scientists have managed to record individual brain cells processing/accessing memories:For the Brain, Remembering Is Like Reliving. Main point: remembering is very similar to doing. Similar patterns of activation exist on recall as they do during the completion of the activity that is being recorded. Educators obviously know this in theory: want a student to remember something? Get them to do something – interact, build, create. Still, it’s intriguing to see the continual developments in understanding (and having evidence for) how our brains work. We’ll continue to see much more of this.
