Est-ce que je me souviendrai de cet article si un jour j'en ai besoin ? Je compte sur mes amis pour me le rappeler ... ;-)

Scientists are now applying the technique in the first trial of the treatment in patients with Alzheimer's disease. If successful, it could offer hope to sufferers from the degenerative condition, which affects 450,000 people in Britain alone, by providing a "pacemaker" for the brain.

"The discovery surprised the scientists as the hypothalamus has not usually been identified as a seat of memory. The contacts that most readily produced the memories were located close to a structure called the fornix, an arched bundle of fibres that carries signals within the limbic system, which is involved in memory and emotions and is situated next to the hypothalamus. Professor Lozano is a world authority on deep-brain stimulation who has undertaken 400 operations on Parkinson's disease sufferers and is developing the technique as a treatment for depression, for which he has performed 28 operations. He said the discovery of its role in stimulating memory had wide implications." (from the unforgettable, and crispy, KFC)

This sounds interesting; let's just hope that this isn't the biological equivalent of overclocking...

I've been studying ways to improve memory for years, only my methods haven't included embedding electrodes in my brain. I wonder if there's a way to get the benefits of this without the invasive electrode thing. Sounds like that may be next . . . cool!
