All About Memory

Memory makes us real. If we do not remember people, things, places and times in our daily lives, learning new information, building permanent relationships and even playing a role in our daily lives will become difficult. By memory, the brain can encode, store and retrieve information in three basic formats. First, we use sensory memory to process stimuli immediately; this information is usually stored in the brain in less than 1 second. Details that they can remember later. Next, that information is passed to short-term memory (also called working memory). This allows you to carefully review and record important information. Finally, we save past events and patterns in long-term memory, also known as episodic memory or semantic memory.
Different areas of the brain function in different aspects of memory. For example, since the hippocampus is related to spatial memory, it creates a map of the surrounding world and helps you find places you have never seen before. Meanwhile, the amygdala is associated with emotional memory including memory of fear. The genetics of memory, in particular the possible genetic roots of Alzheimer's disease are being studied - but science is still preliminary; why some people do not know how to remember things more effectively than others Hmm
People suffering from separate fugues do not remember who they are. Some people started living with a new identity.
Yes, this is all about memories. Memory has plenty of power to touch you in the most effective place. Some are good, but some are very bad. And the worst thing is to torture you most, sometimes midnight. From the point it feels, the same pain and sadness covers you and I wonder what happened suddenly. Then these pictures start to appear before the brain screen, like a movie running in Flashback. Although years have passed, sometimes this pain is still very fresh. It is the same as now. I am lamenting, crying, and I want to finish it at once. But whenever it appears in some way. I do not know how many days, months, years it will take. I believe that I spend as much time as possible to eliminate my system. But I have finished it now, and I am tired of it.
Most people know the concept of "flashback", but usually associate them with a very intuitive linear memory of the right brain. This is not necessarily the way flashback works. Memory has no time. For example, this is not the trail of the way I remember my first day. Over the years I have denied my memory. Because they are not bound by the same kind of memory. I have no complete memory of this childhood abuse. I have a short deception of visual and auditory memory, but the most important thing is that my memory appears in the form of emotions, smells, tastes and nightmares. So, if you ask me, you are convinced that you were abused, and when you ask if you have a story about the beginnings of abuse, middle, and end No, yes I will not. Also, I would like to say that most survivors with frequent sexual abuse, such as incest or domestic violence, do not hold 'remembrance' like this.
Psychologists do not need to talk about personal memories, we all know what memory is. Memory allows us to identify old classmates' faces, recall ancient songs, remember fun time and unpleasant moments, and remember important information about events / experiences in our lives I will. Like modern computers, the brain stores memory in the file system. In the past, these files were thought to contain only information and data. It is the same as a file containing office patient information or a file containing text or numbers on a computer. As science progresses, we begin to understand more about the brain and how it preserves memory.
