How does my brain store memories again?? Great question! There are a lot of questions about how memories are stored and where they go. But when we have a test coming up, it might be useful to learn how to remember what you studied! So find out more about the neuroscience of memory with Alie Astrocyte!

I'm learning about memory in psychology currently. My teacher actually shared this video because it explains what we are learning really well!! I've always found the case of H.M. an interesting one. I also find it crazy how much we know about memory, but also how little. There are still so many questions to be answered, but we're definitely getting closer to knowing even more! Excellent video!! Keep up the great work!

I’ve watched a few of your videos & I’ve been able to learn a fair bit from them & they’re great at explaining everything but this video in particular, around maybe 4:00, I can understand it but it’s just a bit harder to comprehend, maybe because I’m tried & maybe because memory itself is a stressor to me bc I don’t remember things well, even though I really need to. But even going over the video a few times, it hasn’t been as easy to understand as the rest of your videos? I love these videos, don’t get me wrong- just wanted to point this out :-)

@alexfuller9546 4 жыл бұрын

In a synapse, when the preynaptic neuron fires frequently to send neurotransmitters to the postsynaptic neuron, the postsynaptic neuron will develop more receptors. This makes the postsynaptic neuron more susceptible to the neurotransmitters sent by the presynaptic neuron. In other words, a stronger connection is built between the two neurons to increase efficacy of communication.

@Arunava_Gupta Жыл бұрын

It's impossible for the brain to act as the storehouse of memories. There's absolutely no retention of the signals propagated by the neurons. A depolarisation is immediately followed by a repolarisation (in milliseconds) thus rendering even working memory impossible.

As a creative professional I make my living by being inspired. For me the moment of inspiration occurs like a reverse memory. Instead of flooding into my mind from some past experience, it feels as if it’s flooding in from the future. I wonder if it’s the same fundamental neuro-mechanism of neurons firing together wiring together. There are lots of videos and research on learning and neuro-plasticity, but not much on inspiration, creativity, lateral-thinking and neuro-plasticity.

I had the exact theory that receptors increase due to increased exposure but, mine had something a bit different and was wondering if anyone had any more information on the topic. So my theory went that as more of one neurotransmitter was sent through a synapse the receptors would become more sensitive to that exact neurotransmitter. So say if one neuron always sends dopamine to a neighboring neurons dendrites, those dendrites would become more sensitive to dopamine and less sensitive to other neurotransmitters, forming a sort of physical memory. What’s your thought?

So apart from stroke what can cause a memory problem like Anomic aphasia? Mid sentence forgetting a word you have known your whole life. It's like you can feel the word is there, but you can't get to it. You end up having to describe the word. For example, using the cold cupboard when the word fridge wouldn't come.

Some people (like in this video) already act like they know the answers, at the same time memory is still one of science’s greatest mysteries. Planarian flatworms can regenerate an entire new brain (along with the rest of the head) from their tails. Somehow they still retain old memories. How can a worm remember things after losing its head?

@olgaatman4677 5 жыл бұрын

I agree about people, who act like they know the answers) and about mystery. but worms may be not an argument. they have neuro path from head to tail. they don't have "brain". and their motor and habit memory can store in the tail too.

While we may be able to identify the neural activity in different parts of the brain, it only indicates correlates of memory function. It cannot be said for sure that the part physically stores memory. It could be an activity of saving of information or retrieval of past information. It is quite possible that the brain only uses some technique to generate and recall pertinent information and the data is stored elsewhere, could be in the environment..!!

Why am I a bit sceptical about about the explanation of where and how memories are stored? I think it's because there are an infinite amount of possible things to remember.and yet the brain is not infinite. It's just neurons firing against another, something else is going on that we don't know about but I can't guess what. It's weird.

Not electrons, actually. They're called "neurotransmitters", and they send signals between synapses all around the brain! It's really fascinating. And it isn't unlikely! There are tons of studies on this, but this is really only one theory based on what was discovered. It is definitely not fact, but it isn't fiction and could be one way memories are stored, but we don't know for sure. Anything could be possible, and only time will tell! :)

Sadly, many psychological breakthroughs come from highly unethical experiments. Do you think psychology could have made the same progress without those unfortunate experimental subjects?

@neurotransmissions 7 жыл бұрын

So true. There have been a lot of unethical experiments made in the name of science. Some of them had malicious intent. Those are absolutely unacceptable, despite their contributions. Some experiments may have fallen within the ethical guidelines of the time, but would not be considered ethical today. They may be the result of not having enough information and would now be considered unethical. In this video, we talked about H.M. and his extreme surgery. Knowing what we know today, that sort of surgery would not be recommended. However, the contribution to science is huge. I am not sure where psychology would be without these experimental subjects. However, I do know that psychology gets better and more ethical every year as a direct result of experiments like these.
