Although memory is subjective and colored by experience, a team of researchers, led by Weishun Zhong, Eric and Wendy Schmidt Member in Biology in the School of Natural Sciences, and Misha Tsodyks, C. V. Starr Professor in the School, have discovered that our brains share a universal mathematical structure for memory organization. Their findings bridge the disciplines of physics and neuroscience, revealing potential applications ranging from AI to memory disorder treatment.
