Researchers from Binghamton University in the US conducted an experiment on about 60 people aged 18 to 74.
The participants were shown objects and scenes with different faces, after which their memory was tested, while the activity of the hippocampus of the brain was also recorded through MRI.
According to the researchers, the hippocampus plays an important role in forming new memories and consolidating them.
