Memory masters reveal brain differences in superior autobiographical recall
UC Irvine researchers led by James McGaugh and Aurora LePort study eleven individuals with highly superior autobiographical memory. They identify differences in nine brain regions including stronger mid to forebrain white matter, linking memory to brain structure. The work, published in Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, notes high personal recollection accuracy but average performance on standard memory tests. They seek more subjects and plan functional imaging to explore encoding and retrieval mechanisms.
