Your brain activity changes depending on whether you're recalling a true or a false memory, new research suggests. A"false" memory refers to when you remember something that didn't happen or that actually occured at a different time or place.
"Whereas prior studies established the role of the hippocampus in event memory, we did not know that electrical signals generated in this region would distinguish the imminent recall of true from false memories," Michael Kahana, senior study author and a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, said in a statement.
The rhythm of electrical activity in the hippocampus differed dramatically when patients correctly recalled a word from the target list or incorrectly remembered one that hadn't been included. This electrical activity appeared less than a second before they said the word and then faded quickly afterward.
