If you're interested in memory, engrams, hippocampal systems, this is a must read:
I wrote a thing on episodic memory and systems consolidation. I hope you all enjoy it and/or find it interesting.

Episodic memories are highly dynamic and change in nonlinear ways over time. This dynamism is not captured by existing systems consolidation theories …

The hippocampus is one of the most studied brain areas because of its major role in fundamental brain functions including learning, memory, and spatial navigation.
In a new #ScienceReview, researchers focus on the role of overlooked areas and circuits within the hippocampus. https://scim.ag/3VKRbMM

Colors leave unique ‘maps’ in our brains, so consistent across people that Michael Bannert and Andreas Bartels (both MPI for Biological Cybernetics) could predict which color someone saw...just from fMRI data. 🌈🧠 Their findings point to deep evolutionary roots in how we perceive color.
