📓 Where did I put the car keys? Why can`t I stop thinking about that car accident I saw? Henry II, Richard I, ......I know that person: all examples of everyday thoughts requiring brain memory, one human capability that we rely on to make sense of today and guide our tomorrow. This book describes an ´outside the box` version of the memory mechanisms based on recognised biochemical and psychological theories and including a modicum of conjecture and personal opinion. At the end the reader will understand how we learn and remember and why emotional state and level of attention are important.
