New research from Cedars-Sinai has identified the pathways of neurons that help people retrieve information from memories and use that information to make decisions—a discovery that may aid development of future treatments for memory disorders that accompany certain conditions, like schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease.
The research, led by Ueli Rutishauser, Ph.D., professor of Neurosurgery, Neurology and Biomedical Sciences, and Board of Governors Chair in Neurosciences at Cedars-Sinai, appears June 26 in the journal Science. This scientific work provides a detailed understanding of the neural networks behind the conscious recollection of information. Understanding those networks is laying the groundwork for scientists working on diseases and other problems within the brain that impact memory.
