Scientists discover way to reverse loss of memory
This article is about how scientists managed to find out how to reverse the loss of memory by accident. It was supposed to be a brain surgery for an obese man to control his eating habits. Although the surgery was a failure, it seems that scientists unlocked how memory in the brain works. Also, the man, after the surgery is experiencing déjà vu in a intense level. Even things that happened 30 years ago appear in the man's memory. Professor Andres Lozano, a professor of neurosurgery at the Toronto Western Hospital, Ontario, who is leading the research says that this discovery that stimulate memory had wide implications.
From the article i have learnt that the human brain is very interesting organ as something so small can actually store memories of 30 years ago and yet still able to function as a center for all of our emotions, reaction, thinking and other stuff in our daily everyday life.
