Vocabulary

a structure I didn't understand

Hello,

Please explain wat is in red:

Researchers have proved that memory doesn't exist in one specific part of the brain, or does it depend - as we thought before- on biofeedback or alpha states or special breathing.

1/ is it a question? why is it inverted? or is it rhetoric?

2/ is using hyphens here as using commas ?

3/ why did he used "or" twice? why didn't he used the way English is written, (I mean X, Y or Z.).



Thank you.

>did he used
did he use

>X, Y or Z
This can be written (in English):
X or Y or Z (allows for more pause during reading the sentence and thinking about it)

Aw, I'm really sorry. I didn't know that this was published on the net. I typed it from a book i'm translating and it said (or does it depend) in the book, so it's a typing mistake.

Thank you for your help. I'm sorry again for waisting your time searching
