By mimicking the way neurons fire in the hippocampus during natural memory creation, a brain implant was used to successfully plant memories in the brains of rats. Though human implementation is far off, this breakthrough in cracking the hippocampus' mathematical "memory code" has very important implications for health and research.

Bump it!
In a study of data from 129,808 people over an 80-year span, researchers found that the genome sequence variations linked to higher education are becoming rarer in the population. Despite the decrease in these genetic factors in the gene pool, education levels continue to increase, showing that genetics are not the only factor at play.
