First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This completed study used MRI scans to watch brain activity in 60 healthy young adults while they performed memory and perception tasks. Researchers focused on the hippocampus, a brain area traditionally linked to memory, to test whether it also handles non-memory tasks like recognizing shapes. The goal was to better understand how the brain organizes different types of information, not to test any treatment.
