Probing Brain\u2019s Depth, Trying to Aid Memory <\/a><\/h2>\n

The Department of Defense on Tuesday announced a $40 million investment in what has become the fastest-moving branch of neuroscience: direct brain recording. Two centers, one at the University of Pennsylvania and the other at the University of California, Los Angeles, won contracts to develop brain implants for memory deficits.
\nTheir aim is to develop new treatments for traumatic brain injury, the signature wound of the wars in Iraq and in Afghanistan. Its most devastating symptom is the blunting of memory and reasoning. Scientists have found in preliminary studies that they can sharpen some kinds of memory by directly recording, and stimulating, circuits deep in the brain.
\nUnlike brain imaging, direct brain recording allows scientists to conduct experiments while listening to the brain\u2019s internal dialogue in real time, using epilepsy patients like Ralph or people with Parkinson\u2019s disease as active collaborators.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
