How can we remember so many things?

We remember so many things because our brain has the capacity to store a lot of information. It keeps everything from our emotions to everything we learned at school. This ability of the brain is called memory.

But how does memory work?

It took a long time for scientists to begin to better understand how our brain cells interact to form our memories. These cells, called neurons, have long arms, very thin and almost touching. This allows a neuron to pass the information it received to other neurons close to it, forming a kind of large network.

Every time you learn something new, this network changes, got it?

So if you can remember all of this that I just said, it's because your neurons just formed a new network.
