Electric shocks to brain may boost memory: Study - HealthPop - CBS News

Electric shocks to brain may boost memory: Study - HealthPop - CBS News: The study recorded brain activity in seven epilepsy patients who had already had electrodes implanted in their brains to monitor the origin of their seizures. These patients played a video game in which they had to learn the location of stores in a virtual city. UCLA neuroscientists found that participants remembered the locations better after they received mild zaps of electricity in their brains.
