Remember This!

It’s important to note that memories aren’t “stored” in a particular place in the brain, like you might put a file in a folder. Rather, the latest scientific thinking is that a particular memory is stored throughout the brain, a little like a hologram. That means “retrieving” a memory can be prone to errors and distortions and can change over time. To keep your own memory healthy and robust, remember that the mind is very closely integrated with the body.
