Why we blow mental raspberries. Train of thought – derailed. Familiar names – gone. What gives? Why do our brains betray us in such awkward, embarrassing ways?

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date.

The parts of the brain that are needed to remember words, and how these are affected by a common form of epilepsy, have been identified by a team of neurologists and neurosurgeons at UCL.

Importantly, matching up all that anatomy with the activity in the mouse’s brain as it watched movies allowed researchers to trace how the circuitry worked.
