Memories are made of this?

Australasian Business Intelligence, May, 2007

May 29, 2007 (New Scientist - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Brain cells generated during adulthood are of greater importance for memory than previously thought. Researchers have found that they are involved in the formation of new memories. Hongjun Song at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, US, has found that young adult-grown neurons display similar properties to neurons in the developing nervous system. Josef Bischofberger, a neuroscientist at the University of Freiburg in Germany, said Song showed that adult neurogenesis provides a pool of neurons that are instrumental in the formation of new connections within the adult brain.
