Google as a model for recording memories in the brain!




How born a memory?
 Explains to us the US internet giant Google. In fact doing Google searches not only serves to network, but also is good for human brain.
Some British researchers from the University of Leicester and the University of California, used search engines on a neural model for discovering how memories arise. This study was published in the scientific journal "Nature Communications".

Combinations of concepts are a key mechanism in human memory because it helps us to recall the distant moments in time. For example, when we recall personal experiences, or when leaving a meeting with someone in a particular place, create combinations between several concepts.
Starting from this principle, researchers have used the operation of Internet search engines, like Google and Bing, in a neural model to determine the level of combinations between the concepts and how these combinations are codified in human memory.
Using this techniquen we understand how neurons present in memory reach the concentrate less concepts , most important, but closely related to each other.

"Neurons are cognitive memory elements and represent concepts and relationships. In fact, these concepts and their combinations represent the structure that holds memories, "said lead author of the study, quia Rodrigo Quiroga, from the Centre for Studies of neuroscience University of Leicester.
"Under this scheme, the brain seeks more important concepts to remember and to forget a number of infinite detail. Not coincidentally, these details nor codified in neurons, "he says
