Targeted enhancement of cortical-hippocampal brain networks and associative memory

Brain stimulation to improve human memory The hippocampus is a crucial brain area for certain types of memory. Working with humans, Wang et al. found that a specific type of non-invasive brain stimulation improved memory tests and enhanced information flow between the hippocampus and a number of other brain regions. This increased connectivity was highly specific for the individual target areas selected for each participant. Science , this issue p. 1054
