But there's another mechanism that we've become aware of that helps cement those memories into the brain. And it's called replay. Several years ago, scientists were looking at how rats learned as they would run around a maze. And they were recording the activity in the memory centers of these rats. And as the rat was running around the maze, different brain cells would code different parts of the maze. And so if you added a tone to each one of the brain cells what you would hear as the rat was starting to learn the maze was the signature of that memory. So it would sound a little bit like ...
