A group of researchers from the University of Southern California and the Wake Forest School of Medicine announced that they experimentally confirmed the positive contribution of electrode implantation in the brain to memory issues.
The researchers placed electrodes on specific points of the brain of “volunteers” who were on anti-epileptic therapy, delivering small electrical signals. According to their announcement, a 15% improvement in immediate memory and a 25% improvement in “working memory” was measured in all volunteers – figures that confirm previous conclusions that had been reached in laboratory animals.
During the same experimental course, the researchers (admitted that) also conducted reverse measurements. How could they “worsen” memory, through the same electrodes, with different voltages (or durations) of the mini electric shock.
As always, research is conducted for a “good purpose”: to help patients with memory loss or Alzheimer’s. What else would it be done for, after all? As is known, “the bad guys are in prison”…
