Memory Decoded: From Grandmother Cells to Concept Cells
from Intellectually Curious · host Mike Breault
In this Deep Dive Science Corner, we trace how our memories are stored in the brain. From the old dream of a grandmother cell to the discovery of Jennifer Aniston cells and the idea of sparse coding, we explore how abstract concepts are represented, how memories form and are retrieved, and what iconic cases like HM teach us about the brain’s memory circuitry.Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.
