Some of the most decisive work in brain research in the past 20 years is how peers all over the world describe the breakthroughs by the neuroscience group at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. Recent published papers from the Centre for the Biology of Memory are termed "jaw-dropping". This experiment with a rat is helping us to understand how the brain avoids mixing-up things it remembers.
