What Is Memory, and What Are The Effects Of It?

All humans have a memory; some better than others. Memory deals with processes that reconstruct and recover certain information that we have been introduced too beforehand. Life would be inexistent without muscle memory, which is located in the brainstem, but people do sometimes live with a limited amount of memory dealing with the areas that store thoughts, events, and numbers. Memory is one of those things that is taken for granted, and is impossible to not use. We can’t picture our life without it, because it is used, and will be used every second of every minute, of everyday for the rest of any human life. Also, while memory is easy to grab at, it takes a lot of processing, and manoeuvring of information for it to stay within minds reach. Time has launched different experts who have unsuccessfully explained memory and how it is stored. Aristotle, a Greek philosopher, believed that each memory was physically stored in the brain, and those memories over a lifetime would cause feeling in the tissues to trigger them. Eventually the brain was studied, and information on how memory was actually stored became public. Experts were able to pinpoint the exact part of the brain that was being used, as well as its exact function. The Cerebral Cortex senses and processes information, the Occipital lobe stores visual information, the Temporal lobe deals with language, and auditory memory, the Frontal lobe controls both voluntary movements as well as sensations, and the Prefrontal lobe receives memory, it also allows someone to give an immediate answer pertaining to any of the other information previously stored. While memory comes into play so simply, it is actually a very complicated task; there are different types of memory, as well as diverse complications and enhancements.
