We know people with Alzheimer\u2019s have difficulty recalling the recent past but can often readily remember childhood memories, which seem more resilient. The parts of the brain we studied are some of the first regions affected in Alzheimer\u2019s and now we know they are also involved in memory consolidation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/news\/2016-04-brain-caught-memories-rest.html\">http:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/news\/2016&#45;04-brain-caught-memories-rest.html<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interesting and will be important in brain\/ neuro replicating and enhancements.
