Findings from genetically diverse mice challenge long-held assumptions about how the brain is able to briefly hold onto important information. In a paper in Cell, the researchers present evidence that working memory isn't neatly confined to one brain area, but requires the synchronous activity of at least two. The findings challenge long-held assumptions that working memory is the job of just one part of the brain and help scientists pinpoint its genetic and mechanistic basis. (1)

Can memories reside anywhere in an ever-changing brain?

Look at the constant things in an ephemeral world.

And you will be surprised to see.

That you can even see.

Listen to the noise in the silent void.

(Can you speak?)

How can you remember anything?

But the things you cannot forget?
