Have you ever thought how memories are intriguing; they allow previous events to be remembered instantly but retain themselves at any time. As if they are ready to be used on demand without warrant. Even though memories can be both pleasant and horrible, the power they have can affect your life psychologically. Memories are, without a doubt, a wondrous subject to think about.
Constructing a memory is a first-hand experience that develops as you participate in doing something. Whether that would be talking to someone, buying something, or listening to a lecture of some kind. The possible events are endless, but the memories are captured. According to the TED-Ed YouTube channel, How memories form and how we lose them – Catherine Young, a memory is an electrical experience within the brain that travels between a network of neurons. In other words, your memorable time excites your brain and triggers an electrical charge that begins moving within the brain.
Within time, the memory moves through the neuron network to become a short-term memory. If the memory is strong enough, then the memory gets shifted into a long-term compartment within the brain. While all of this is rather fascinating, the question then becomes: why do we create memories as living beings? Humans, dinosaurs, insects, and even plants have memory retention.
According to Jim (a.k.a eiadmin) from thisviewoflife.com, organic life evolved to have memory retention for problem solving, survival, and reproduction. This ultimately makes sense because organic life has thrived on Earth for millions of years. As much as you wish to know the real reason for why organic life has the ability to remember things, the answer will remain elusive. Theories and unfound answers as to why organic life can have memorable experiences remains a mystery.
