Researchers at George Washington University made an epileptic patient go to sleep by applying an electrical impulse in a specific brain region. After they stopped the stimulation, the patient came out of coma and had no memory of what had just happened.
"It is like the ignition of a car when turning a key can bring all the other components of the car to life," Mohamad Koubeissi from George Washington University was quoted as saying.
The effect was produced by stimulating the patient's claustrum - a thin sheet of neutrons at the lower part of the central brain.
