Summary

This study looks at how a part of the brain called the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) helps us remember and make decisions. Researchers will record brain activity from 130 epilepsy patients who already have brain monitoring as part of their treatment. The goal is to understand how the PCC supports memory, which could help explain memory problems in diseases like Alzheimer's and schizophrenia. This is a basic science study, not a treatment.
