Document Summary

Memory: there was an experiment where they tried implementing the memory in students minds that they had a huge ght in high school . Nd was that they could locate the speci c neurons that red when the mouse was feeling comfortable. Next they put the mouse in a scary box, and the mouse was frightened. What they did next was use electricity to activate those same parts of the brain that red when the brain was feeling comfortable, and to their surprise, the mouse wasn"t scared anymore and was actually feeling comfortable again. When they turned the electricity off however, the mouse went being to scared. Memory is not one of those abstract studies, instead memory is actually what you are. Episodic memory is much easier to retrieve, which is why if you want to remember things better, you should convert them from semantic memory, to episodic memories.
