Researchers at the University of Basel found a direct link between activity in certain brain regions like the hippocampus and memory performance, using the world’s largest functional imaging study on memory, involving nearly 1,500 participants. The findings, which revealed stronger brain activation in individuals with better memory, could impact future research linking biological characteristics to brain signals.
Although it is established that particular areas of the brain are essential for memory functions, it has remained unclear whether these regions demonstrate varying activity levels related to the storage of information in individuals with differing memory performance levels.

“The findings help us to better understand how differences in memory performance occur between one individual and another,” said Dr. Léonie Geissmann, the study’s first author, adding that the brain signals of a single individual do not allow for any conclusions to be drawn about their memory performance, however.
