Memories

Memories are the mental representations of past experiences, knowledge, and information stored in the brain. The process of forming and recalling memories involves various brain regions and intricate neural connections. Memories can be short-term or long-term and are crucial for learning, decision-making, and daily functioning. Memory can be influenced by factors such as attention, emotion, and rehearsal, and it can also be subject to distortion or forgetting over time.
