Scientists have devised a new brain implant that might one day be used to treat conditions that affect a person’s memory, such as dementia. The implants that the researchers have devised could boost memory function by as much as 30%. Researchers from the University of Southern California have developed what they call a memory prosthesis.
The implant is made up of electrodes that are implanted into the brain. The device is meant to mimic the way memories are naturally processed by giving small electric shocks to the hippocampus. This is the region of the brain involved in learning and memory.
