## Remembering is re-membering



"When people imagine listening to music versus actually hearing it, the activation patterns are nearly identical. That is, the act of remembering music causes activation of the same neural circuits that were active when we heard the music in the first place. That special, dedicated subset of neurons that were tied together in listening comes online again when remembering. What are otherwise disparate and isolated neurons spread throughout the brain re-form to once again become members of that original experience group; the neurons are re-membered into their original membership group, into their original formation. Remembering is re-membering."
