For a long time, it was believed that memories could only be stored in the brain if the corresponding neurons were active. However, it now seems to be revealed that this is not always the case, and it can be of great help to those suffering from short-term memory loss. Scientists have found that stimulating the brain with mild electrical discharges (in particular, a pulse of transcranial magnetic stimulation) can revive recent memories. Our mind can slow down short-term memories down to their inactive state, where they are in the background, but ready to return when needed.
This method cannot be applied to long-term memory loss (there are other techniques for this), so don't expect childhood memories to return after a few shocks. However, these results should improve our understanding of how the brain works - it has already become clear that our memory is more complex than previously thought. And in the long term, it can lead to treatment for Alzheimer's and other disorders when recovered
