[@stellam5872]

I think this has to do with the difference between declarative memories and non-declarative memories. Declarative memories are memories of things like events and facts, while non-declarative memories are mostly things like procedural memories, such as remembering how to ride a bike, walk, play a musical instrument, etc. -- also known as "muscle memory." (You may notice that you don't have to put much thought into how to walk when you walk -- like you're not thinking about how much you should lift your foot, extend your knee, put your foot down, shift your weight, etc.) These different types of memories are encoded/stored in different ways/regions of the brain. I'd guess that dementia mainly affects declarative memories, but doesn't affect non-declarative memories as much -- since that would explain why people with dementia can sometimes not remember the fact that they can do certain things and/or not remember the events in their life in which they learned to play and played a musical instrument, but they still can still play the instrument.

[@kayleighkelley5129]

Ok so can you please make more since out of that please

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

Okay... Basically there's two kinds of memory, and thus two ways the brain stores it... 1... Episodic Memory... It's how you remember a particular place you went and what you did there... Like that one time your school took you on a field trip to the museum and you got to see a really rare exhibit that doesn't go on tour anymore... AND you can still remember some of the most interesting and fun details the guide lady told you about it... That's an example of Episodic Memory... Basically a snap-shot or short experience clip from your life... 2. Procedural Memory... This is how you develop skills and habits, both for better and for worse. It's created through actions and study and reinforced by repetitions... Learning to tie your shoes, how to walk (because it's not just ingrained instinct or programming), read or write, and other skills you pick up throughout your life all fall into procedural memory. The more you repeat those skills, task by task and step by step, properly, the less effort it takes to think about them and repeat them, because the neural pathways get "reinforced" with more such pathways over time and repetitions... This is also where the neuro-scientists agree that NOT all practice is necessarily created equal and only GOOD practice will actually build your skills. If you slack off on the procedures, excusing poor quality practice with "Well, that's good enough, because I'm trying."... You can unintentionally create the pathways and then reinforce them for slop and bad habits in the skill... Just like you don't think very much about walking (for instance) because you've done so much of it in your life, it's still in procedural memory in your brain... It's just so often used that you've got such an information freeway for it that there's almost no conscious effort at all... Likewise, when someone really religiously practices an instrument or some other skill until they've truly mastered it, they don't really have to consciously think about it either... Frequently, someone with dimentia can sign their own name (if you can read their handwriting, of course) even if they've deteriorated to a degree that they can't even verbally tell you their actual name... In the case of the vid' and O.P.'s story, such practice was the case. Both people had practiced so much as to create the kind of skill that requires no actual thought, but they simply act on instinct and feel of their instrument... It's a bit of a misconception that it's "muscle memory" because muscles don't have the neural capacity to have any memories. All memories are still stored and accessed in the brain... BUT Alzheimers most directly attacks the Episodic Memory center... It still destroys the Procedural, but not nearly at the rate that it diminishes the Episodic... ;o)

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

@@nomichaelnothatwassonotrig5380 That's still debatable... Arguably it fits with "Episodic" such as remembering reading about the Capital of France or the Battle of Hastings... a snapshot of your life... It could also fit into "Procedural" involving studies and repeating the act of looking at or reciting the facts around the Capital of France or the Battle of Hastings to reinforce those information paths... There's admittedly still a lot we don't all together "get" about memory... SO I'm not discounting or dismissive of "Semantic" memory... Smarter and more studied people than me are still arguing about where and how it all "fits together"... AND such is why the current thinking from Neuroscientists suggests that the best forms of study involve not just reading and re-reading notes... but re-arranging the words of questions to force independent "recall" of details so you build upon and reinforce the information paths in your brain and literally "learn to think" more efficiently about a subject, rather than just imprint flimsy, single indexes to any given "factoid" you've managed to gather... In any case, appreciate the addendum, too... It's a debate we can share in this thread just as well. ;o)

As a human biologist, it's always been fascinating how different parts of the brain have these unique functions. The pituary gland influences our growth through growth hormones and in the hippocampus we find cells which tells us where we are positioned.

Unless you live somewhere in the mid or northern parts of the world (northern hemisphere) or opposite (southern hemisphere)... then you're wrong.

In my area, summers get as hot as 110 Fahrenheit and pools will feel about 30-35 degrees cooler AT MOST (unless it is in deep shade). Also, side note, I go up on commercial building roofs a lot and summer makes those white, reflective roofs feel like 150-165 degrees. -- (by reflective, I mean light colors reflecting hwaf like how darks colors do the opposite and absorb heat).
