**Cornell Researchers Uncover Key Role of Pupil in Memory Formation**

Researchers at the Cornell University College of Arts and Sciences have made groundbreaking discoveries regarding the role of the pupil in memory formation. Their study highlights that the pupil plays a crucial role in understanding how and when the brain creates strong and lasting memories.

The findings may pave the way for new methods to enhance human memory. The research could also have implications outside of neuroscience, potentially aiding computer scientists in training artificial neural networks to improve their efficiency.

Cornell’s work sheds light on the intersection of biology and technology, signaling advancements in both fields through a deeper understanding of memory processes.
