Description
Why do we remember? How do we forget? And what, in the end, is memory? Answering these and other questions, the smart and fun book “This Is My Thing” lets us see one of the most astonishing human abilities in a new way. Two sisters from Norway—neuropsychologist and well-known writer—skillfully weave together story, science, and their own research, offering the reader a captivating panorama of understanding memory—from the Renaissance and the discovery of the hippocampus, which resembles a seahorse in shape, to our time. In the light of the most up-to-date scientific ideas of the 21st century, the book shows the role of different brain regions, the reasons for forgetting childhood memories, and difficulties with memory under stress and depressive conditions. The authors interview specialists of all kinds, from the world’s leading neurobiologists to Ingmar Bergman’s daughter, helping us understand how our memory works, why it sometimes lets us down, and what we can do to strengthen it. The latest scientific information and engaging presentation make this book about human memory truly unforgettable.
