How Does Our Brain Store Memories?

Watching this video be like, "Brain Trying to understand Brain" 😂😂

The best kind of memory is nostalgic memory. There is nothing like a fond remembrance of something which leads to a warm, fuzzy feeling. It just kinda makes you smile.

The brain is learning how brain store The brain commented on the video how brain works

But will I remember how I remember things? THE PLOT THICKENS

The amazing thing its... you can also remember what you thought about. Non sensory information can be stored.

My memory is awful. Especially when doing exams/etc it can be a super-hard time because I struggle to recall much at all.

"Now im not saying that this is done in some sort of bionary arrangement like actually data, because honestly i dont know" Really got me

The thing I want to study so badly is how your brain remembers chronology of memories. The feedback loop to know where you are in the past is so freaking interesting.

We adopted the same concept as primary and secondary memory and incorporated it into computers. Thanks for explaining this in an awesome manner.

If memories are stored chemically by how neurons and molecules are arranged, that means there must be a limit to how many memories one can store. I wonder if we will ever discover that number. Also, does that mean, theoretically, memories can be copied by arranging the molecules and atoms in a neuron to the same way they are arranged in someone else? Can we know exactly what specific neurons are responsible for a certain memory in an individual too? Lots of questions, I know, but it's too interesting.

I only have a 20gb memory I will be buying a 1tb later on

Had Lyme disease badly, lost my short term memory for several months. I coped with alarms and notes. Couldn't remember my clients' names but recognized a face and the business they owned/operated. Eventually my brain repaired but that year is barely stored in my memory, I've had to memorize what I know happened to me during that time. Fun side effect of Lyme: I lost the ability to type for a time, the muscle memory in my hands. First my hands operated backwards and then failed completely. I got that back though... obviously lol

One of the things I remember so well from one of my university courses (I'm not fancy, I'm Canadian lol) is that thing when you try to remember something and can't and then 3 months later you shoot up in bed and burst out "It was a llama!" or some shit, your amazing brain was just scanning away still working on its task the whole time. Just. Fuck.

Now it's stored in my brain Something that's about brain storage

I did not expect to hear Falcon's voice looking up videos for my Psych class lmao

That was good explanation of the rather involved process of the hippo-campus; collating and indexing of short-term memories into long term memories. Great video, no wonder this channel has so many subscribers. That was really well done.

Well, with Alzheimer's, the reason a person forgets things are because of neural pathways breaking down. P.S. This means those memories are gone. You wont get them back, regardless of the magic potion vultures try to pawn off to you in order to take advantage of your grief. But, there is SOME form of regaining memories. If you can reverse the degradation of those neural pathways, and stimulate the production of new ones, you can trick the brain into thinking it remembers things. Don't get confused, the actual memories are gone; but you can tell someone about what happened enough times (if the process is reversed) and they will start "remembering" it. What they're really remembering is your description though - and this isn't just Alzheimer's. Healthy brains are tricked into "remembering" things all the time. Our memory isn't perfect, and is highly suggestible. That means the short term kind of rewires the long term. If you have a group of 20 people witness a crime, in plain view, and ask them to describe the criminal - you'll get 20 different answers. It's partially because, in your long term memory, you already have a pre-concieved notion of what a "criminal" looks like, and your short term memory tries to fill in the blanks; but odds are you have no short term memory of the event by the time you're asked. So the short term memories you're using actually come from pretty much right on the spot from where you're at; and you'll even forget most of the descriptions you gave moments later. Memory is fucking weird.

I've got a test on memory today and this totally refreshed my brain, thanks!

I remember from when I was 3 years old, I was crying, and my cousin cheered me up by making a funny voice I remember what he said but it’s too hard to write, but what I don’t remember is why I was crying.

When my father died im so freaking don't know what happen to are life, i just have 2 hours of sleep and trying to not feel sleepy because i have to entertain my father's friends. And one week past i have a powerful brain it turns to pictograpic memory and every time i work i am not feeling tired, i remember everything and i don't feel sad and happy. I don't even daydream, im not even feel hungry or whatsoever. Why is this happen?
