What is memory?
Memory is how the brain takes information captured by our senses and turns it into experiences that can be stored and remembered in the future.
Instead of a perfect recording system, the brain selects a subset of sensory data for processing in short-term memory before storing it in long-term memory for future recall. This means remembering creates incomplete reconstructions of knowledge.
Remembering a long-term memory requires a retrieval cue—a stimulus for a neuron within the memory's engram. Once triggered, neurons in the network activate, and the stored sensory details reconstruct the experience in short-term memory.
