The Brain’s Ripple Effect: How Memories Are Structured

New research uncovers how ripple brain waves help humans transform ongoing experiences into structured memories. 

In a study of epilepsy patients watching a TV show, ripple activity in the hippocampus spiked at scene changes, segmenting episodes, while cortical ripples sustained internal details. 

This coordination between brain regions acts like punctuation, organizing continuous life events into distinct memories. 

The findings suggest that memory is not just about attention but also about how the brain marks beginnings and endings. 

These insights may explain why memory can fail when this segmentation mechanism breaks down. 

Therapies enhancing this process could benefit those with memory impairments.
