U.S. military research suggests that electrodes can compensate for damaged tissue
A strategy designed to improve memory by delivering brain stimulation through implanted electrodes is undergoing trials in humans.
The US military, which is funding the research, hopes that the approach might help many of the thousands of soldiers who have developed deficits to their long-term memory as a result of head trauma. At the Society for Neuroscience meeting in Chicago, Illinois, on October 17–21, two teams funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency presented evidence that such implanted devices can improve a person’s ability to retain memories.
