"Would you forget it to your head if she was not stuck in the body "
Maybe you can relate in some way with this phrase, whether by constantly forgetting
where you left objects, do not remember names or even forget an important appointment.
When we started to forget things about As a frequent form, the person usually associates
this decline in memory with aging or even stress.
Another worrying factor is the emergence of of diseases linked to cognitive decline,
such as dementia and Alzheimer's.
Otherwise, we usually see positively people who have a good memory, believing
until it is a sign of intelligence.
But a study done in Canada has shown another side of that coin.
Contrary to popular belief, researchers proposed that the goal of our memory
is not to transmit the most accurate over time.
In fact, the purpose of memory is to guide us and optimize our decision-making,
to be done more intelligently.
Our brain has a mechanism to forget things, which is very different from what we use
to save information.
One such mechanism is the weakening of or even elimination of connections in the brain
where our memories are coded.
In fact, the world is constantly changing, so that old information becomes
outdated and less important to be remembered.
Until a while ago, students needed decorate dates and information that today
day, are no longer considered important.
We are currently exposed to a multitude of new information and data that are being updated
in an increasingly rapid step and for this, our brain has also created ways to
adapt.
In what way?
Forgetting specific details.
Our brain generalizes events past, giving space for information
new ones.
This creates simpler memories, which experience new experiences, retain
new information and make more informed informed
You can see this phenomenon clearly in children, because during childhood we are
constantly learning new things, the that makes them forget details
more quickly.
But how to differentiate a forgetfulness some symptom that may indicate
neurological disease?
Alzheimer's symptoms, however, go beyond of simple forgetting from day to day.
Carriers of the disease have difficulty communicate, learn and reason.
They usually forget things over frequency and are unable to remember
the subject later.
So the next time you forget something as simple as the name of a person who
just met, do not worry
Remember that forgetting is so important. how much to store memories.
As the old saying goes: "If you do not use it, you lose".
