Imagination, reality flow in opposite directions in the brain

As real as that daydream may seem, its path through your brain runs opposite reality. Aiming to discern discrete neural circuits, researchers have tracked electrical activity in the brains of people who alternately imagined scenes or watched videos.

I’m glad that’s been sorted out. It would have required rapid imaging. I’ve often thought that when memories are remembered, the electrical currents should flow in an opposite direction to that which caused the memories to form in the first place, and that this should help memories to change during their recall. But that idea has seemed problematic considering that nerve signals are supposed to travel from the bulb to the dendrites rather than the other way around.

To some I am a dream
