Hippocampus 1

Caption

Using hidden Markov models that analyze sequences of data to predict next steps, Rice University researchers showed how to identify structures related to memory from neuronal firing patterns gathered while animals rested. The technique could help neuroscientists understand how the brain builds and commits spatial and temporal maps to memory.
