Here's my problem with the whole concept:

Don't you have to have working knowledge of an organ to fabricate a facsimile?

They admit that they don't know how the hippocampus encodes information. So they just copied the stimulus/impulse paths.

What if these paths vary normally? What if they alter under medication or stress?

I'm skeptical about this prosthesis.

(If it works I'd be thrilled. My uncle is institutionalized for severe Cerebral Palsy.)
