Toronto Western Hospital scientists have found in experiments with deep-brain stimulation that they caused a patient to experience vivid memories of an event that occurred 30 years earlier.
In the following weeks, and up to a year later, the memory of the 50-year-old patient improved. They are now experimenting with electrodes surgically implanted for treating Alzheimer’s patients.
