✦AI Summary
A study of mice in artificial hibernation suggests that long-term memory relies on high-level topological patterns in brain connectivity rather than individual, strong neural links. This challenges previous assumptions about how memories are physically stored and pruned during metabolic slowdowns.
A new study induced artificial hibernation in lab mice and may have revealed something fundamental about the nature of memory.
