Memories Are Made Of This The Biological Building Blocks Of Memory

Memory is what defines who we are & who others are in our minds. But why are memories so complex & mysterious? We remember things every instant, but how are memories formed? And why, if remembering is so ordinary, do our memories fail so often? What is happening in the brain when we recall a face, reconstruct the image of a place, or struggle to find an answer that we think we know? What do genes have to do with memory? And, finally, are we the only creatures who remember & forget, & if not, are there facets of memories common to different species? This work attempts to answer all these questions & more, deftly weaving the history of ideas about memory with rich personal anecdote & cutting-edge scientific research.Chouladze, Rusiko Bourt is the author of 'Memories Are Made Of This The Biological Building Blocks Of Memory', published 2004 under ISBN 9780756778989 and ISBN 0756778980.
