    Brain ‘Ripples’ Appear Just Before You Remember Something
    Science News for Students

    One or two seconds before people recall an image they had previous seen, cells in a key memory center in the brain fire together, creating a “ripple” of activity.
    Seconds before a memory pops up, certain nerve cells jolt into action in sync. This new finding sheds light on how the brain stores and recalls information.
    Studying brain cells in action inside the human head is tricky. Putting electrodes in someone’s brain requires surgery. It’s not something researchers do without a good reason. The new study involved people who already had electrodes put in their brains for some medical purpose. These participants all had epilepsy. That brain disorder causes storm-like surges of electrical activity in the brain, known as seizures. Doctors put the electrodes in the patients' brains so they could pinpoint those surges.
