What I want to know is how a memory is held for years or decades without any reinforcement that I'm aware of. For example, I was just thinking about the interior of a childhood friend's house. I the last time I was in that house was over 30 years ago, and I am not aware of even thinking of it for at least 20 years. And yet I can mentally walk through that house and see, there is the stove, a Victrola phonograph, an upright piano, a display case of Civil War artifacts, etc. Thousand of details of that house have just sat there in my brain somehow. It is possible, I suppose, that those connections have reinforced themselves subconsciously every so often for all these years. I wish I knew how it all worked.

Are you autistic? Temple Grandins work is really interesting. You may think more in pictures. An autistic person is very detailed with their representations of memories. Instead of just seeing a house, they don’t see a generic house, but an actual house they have been in. Just wondering, I have a detailed picture memory too. Rather than verbal memory

A good question. Does anyone know the answer? Mike

[@granthagen3207]

How often were you in that house? Is the experience of the house associated with any significant emotions (pleasant or unpleasant; in other words, what feelings arise when you take yourself back to that house)? Do you remember what other events were taking place while you were in that house? Do you think there might be a reason your brain thought it might be important to store the memory of that house?

[@TinglyTasticASMR]

Amazing. That being said, someone or something that made memories with you weren't just memories, memories that lasts a lifetime changed your physical brain permanently.

Thank You so much "The World Of Science" for putting these videos together for all of us! I Love your channel and appreciate all that it takes to make and polish Clips like this one here. I have a question that I'd like to pose to you, if you don't mind. Reason for Question: I have been diagnosed with "Frontotemporal Dementia" and this question will be regarding my, now no longer existent Short term memory. All of my life I was always quite good at solving problems of most any kind... alas, no longer. Yet, in my attempt to come up with a solution for my memory deficits, I was wondering if Science / Medicine / etc. is far enough along, in our understanding of the Human Brain, to know if our Conscious and Subconscious Memories are Stored in the same physical space in the brain or are they stored, physically, in different ares of the brain? I ask this because, in a last ditch effort to solve my memory issues, I was wondering if it might be possible, say through Hypnosis, to perhaps train my brain to use the physical space in my Brain to utilize the physical area of my brain that is used to hold my "Subconscious Memory" to use this space to store my "Conscious Memory? I was hoping that this part of my Brain might currently be "Undamaged / Unaffected?" I just don't know if we, Humanity is far enough along yet to have this knowledge of where Physically in the Brain, we store memories yet? I hope that I made sense here? Thank you for any assistance that you might be able to provide me. Thank you again...

[@Stanger_95]

Yep, absolutely true. A set a neurons across different regions of brains that store different aspects of a particular memory activate as well as communicate with each other in a specific pattern to recall a memory. The process in which new connections are formed by pre existing neurons to enhance Memories is called as neural plasticity or neuroplasticity.

I liked this video, but I still don't have a clue how memories are stored in the brain on the really physical level.

[@karthikchand]

Brain learning and understanding itself.

[@muhammadhaashir7489]

Memory is related to brain which is matter and consciousness is the result of soul which is not matter, hence in other words when any one dies the memory still retain in the brain because the brain is still there while the consciousness remain no more because now soul is not there.

[@xeyalfrzliyev7777]

Good memory iş only there when the brain is working. Of the brain is not working, it is no longer there. And the soul leaves the body and goes to another place

[@bhakthaswarabhajanmandali5495]

Pls mention whether mind stored info can be decoded

[@rickx86]

I really don’t believe memories are only stored in the brain if at all. This is good theory in this video but there is no proof that the brain actually houses our memories because we don’t have any technology to prove this. Meaning there is no device that can be used to tap into someone’s brain and see the persons actual memories, they just have sensors setup on your head to record brain activity and then they stimulate certain areas of the brain or have you think of memories and see which parts of the brain light up or they have to rely on the person to tell them what they are seeing because the researcher has no way to see themselves. There is plenty of evidence out there of kids telling their parents of their past life when there is no possible way that kid could have found this information out on his own at such a young age. They have taken this information and researched and found the kid to be correct in what they said. How is that possible if our memories have to be stored in the brain we have in this particular life? Think of how many things in the past that in that time they believed it to be fact but later was proven wrong so these same scientist saying look what we know is still very limited to our technology and information we have at this time and will probably be proved wrong down the road once they have better technology. I’m all for our continually exploration and striving to understand the brain but thinking we know something hinders progress once you think you know something you stop searching for more. Literally just 5 minutes ago I retrieved a memory from 30 years ago that I haven’t thought about in just about that same time so there was no neurological path that I kept going over to increase the recall of that memory. I think of the brain as a very complex system but also as a controller or satellite dish in a way. Such that it is our way to tap into things beyond our physical plane that we call reality just like a PS5 controller lets you control your character on the tv and do movements and control weapons etc even though the person pushing the buttons is not at all within the PS5 system itself but can still influence what happens on the game. You can get into the Akashic records and all that but so many people rely on proof and some things need to be experienced to be understood. There are monks that have devoted their life to live in the spiritual realm and have written books in a place non of us can go physically to read. This conversation can go much deeper but no amount of debating can prove this because we only consider proof as something we can show on the physical plane and have at least one of our 5 senses experience. Lmao

[@richardrobertson1331]

I still don't understand how memory is stored. Where it's stored OK. What paths it takes to assemble multiple the thought process, OK. But, how is it stored? Do smells or sounds (e.g. music) have a biochemical molecule different from a stored color or touch stimulus?

[@hfd268]

Memories are stored as chemical changes at the connection points (synapses) between neurons in the brain. There are more than 100 trillion synapses in the human brain, and each memory is stored as slight changes to thousands or millions of synapses. In this sense, memories have a “distributed” representation; each memory involves thousands of synapses, and each synapse is involved in possibly thousands of memories.

[@michaellawson6533]

Im interested in the pantry ( facts and details), where all info ( ingredients ) are stored . If a coffee was the conclusion , then I will have to get/ retrieve the ingredients from the pantry , itself being one part of the brain . Then I would need to put on the kettle , another part , grab a mug from the cupboard ( another part ) and a teaspoon , sugar , milk and finally the doing of pouring and then stirring to complete the coffee , in this neuro case , a thought brought to a conclusion. The question is , how is knowledge stored ? Is it a unique chemical permutation located in one part of the brain for retrieval with many from other parts and together come to a pre-determined conclusion ? And if so , then what , during that process , confirms that it is the correct sequence resulting in the correct and wanted conclusion ?

That's true

[@Ozymandi_as]

I don't think that is true. It may be an over-simplification, but different functions can be mapped to specific areas of the brain, and localised damage to different parts of the brain can give rise to cognitive deficits.

Human Brain Storage Memory is equal to 2.5 Petabytes

[@mikefaff-livingintheillusi9636]

Hi, Siddharth, In this video (Time 5:11), you shared, “Hippocampus stores the long-term memory by changing the neural wiring, that is making new connections between neurons & synapses.” To say wiring implies a physical connection. 1. Do neurons with their axon ever physically touch the dendrite of the next neuron in a physical connection? If there is no interaction between the axon and the dendrite, might the axon move to a site with more activity? 2. Synaptic pruning is thought to be the brain’s way of removing connections in the brain that are no longer active or needed. If the memory is inactive for decades, will the synapses not be pruned away? You stated, “Different parts of the brain store different kinds of memories.” (Time 5:45). So, aspects of the memory are stored throughout the brain, and the location of the different aspects depends on the type of information, i.e., visual, auditory, etc. 1. How can one aspect of a memory be located? Is it in a pattern of neurons or some other device? How is the particular aspect stored? 2. When recalling a memory, what mechanism signals each aspect of the memory to come back together into one holistic memory so it can be rendered? At time 5:48, you said, “These different regions [of the brain] interplay with each other and present a consolidated memory. 1. How do the different regions of the brain interplay with each other to reconsolidate the memory? How do they communicate with each other? Electric, electromagnetic, or something else. I have reviewed other talks on Memory Consolidation, or memories stored in the synapses. They seemed to be a lot like your video. I have not been able to find answers to my concerns. Usually, others have mentioned a “Memory Trace” as a mechanism for retrieving the different aspects of the memory thought to be in the hippocampus or pineal gland. This, of course, is an assumption. As I envision the model of memories, memories cannot be found in the brain, nor can any aspects of memories be found in the brain. We can find neurons, axons, dendrites, and clusters of neurons, but we can’t find a memory. Some have also theorized that neurons cluster into patterns that hold the memory information. However, neuron clusters do not stay together and wander away from each other, and in many cases, they are pruned out by the brain’s normal functions. Brain cells do not reproduce like normal cells reproduce by division. Brain cells do not have the information of the older cells they are replacing. There appear to be too many assumptions that will not pass Occam’s razor. It looks like a theory and not a functional process. It sounds very scientific but seems to have feet of clay. Peace. Mike

Our brain is the central processing unit of the body. The brain is the seat of creative intelligence we have two hemispheres right and left. Different parts of the brain perform different functions, including the seat of memory. We receive signals from all five senses and the brain assembles these signals in a meaningful way, so that we can have a perception of the outside world. These data are stored in the memory unit of the brain. The brain combined with the spinal cord serves as the central nervous system. This is how our brain controls movement, speech, and the functioning of the entire body. When attention is paid to these iconic memories, they begin to be temporarily stored in the brain. These memories are generated, since echoic memories are temporarily stored in the brain and last for a few days or a certain time. Different parts of the brain store different types of memories.
