Memory Recorded Twice

The brain records short term and long term memories. It has been thought that short term memories can be transformed into long term memories and that under certain medical conditions this is no longer possible. However, in new research in mice it has been found out that the memories are stored in two places from the start, in the hippocampus and in the cortex. It is assumed now that the same is true for humans, changing 60 year old assumptions.
