The Science of Memory: Why We Remember and Forget (Season 1, Episode 8: The Mind-Body Nexus)


Listen Later

Why is it that we can easily remember the lyrics to an old song but forget where we left our keys? In this episode, we explore the amazing science of memory — how our brains capture moments, store them, and sometimes, just let them slip away.

Join us as we uncover the journey of a memory, from the first spark of learning to the deep vaults of long-term storage. You’ll learn why some memories stick while others fade, and how emotions play a starring role in making certain moments unforgettable. We’ll also reveal why forgetting isn’t always a bad thing — in fact, it’s part of how the brain stays organized.

Along the way, we’ll share science-backed tips to improve your memory, whether you’re studying for an exam or just want to stay sharp as you grow older. If you’ve ever been fascinated by how your mind recalls the past or puzzled by why it sometimes fails you, this episode will give you the insights and tools to better understand — and even strengthen — your memory.

Tune in to unlock the mysteries of remembering and forgetting, and discover how you can make your brain’s memory bank work better for you.
