The electrical stimulation of the hippocampus in in-vivo
experiments activates precisely the same receptor complexes as learning or
memory recall. This has been discovered for the first time and the finding has
now been published in the highly respected journal “Brain Structure Function”.
“This may form the basis for the use of medications aimed at powering up
dormant or less active memory cells,” says Gert Lubec, Head of Fundamental
Research / Neuroproteomics at the University Department of Paediatrics and
Adolescent Medicine at the MedUni Vienna.
