MIT researchers have identified the brain circuit that process the “when” and “where” components of memories, reports Robby Berman for Slate. “The newly discovered circuit connects the hippocampus and the entorhinal cortex,” writes Berman. “The entorhinal cortex splits each memory into two streams of information: one for location and one for timing.”

A new computational model of how the primate brain recognizes objects creates a map of “interesting” features (right) for a given image. The model’s predictions of which parts of the image will attract a viewer’s attention (green clouds, left) accord well with experimental data (yellow and red dots).
