NIMH researchers have boosted the staying power of a social memory by stimulating a circuit they discovered in mouse brain. A male mouse that would normally forget a female mouse it had just met within an hour instead remembered it at least a week later! If circuitry similar to what we’re seeing in mice turns out to be also at work in the human brain, treatments based on similar targeted brain pathway stimulation might someday help to improve the relationships of people experiencing social memory impairment due to dementias and mental illnesses.
