Researchers have discovered two types of human brain cells that physically help us form memories.

, neuroscientists ask if the neurophysiological formation of memories reflects the discrete character of memories in our conscious experience.

While these boundaries in our daily lives may be nuanced and less obvious, scientists, for research purposes, focused on what they called 'hard' and 'soft' boundaries. Researchers were able to find two types of cells that responded to these cognitive boundaries: 'boundary cells', that responded to both soft boundaries and hard boundaries, and 'event cells' that responded solely to hard boundaries.

Investigators then tested their theory by asking participants where or not they'd seen certain images in the film clips. Confirming the researchers' suspicions, participants were more likely to recall images that closely followed a hard or soft boundary, at a point of a new memory being formed.
