Understanding Memory

Throughout our lives we constantly bombarded by our senses, everything we see, hear and smell cannot possibly be recorded in the memory. Each of our five senses taste, touch, smell, hearing and sight all begin as electrical impulses travelling through the brain. As each sensation links to one another tiny synaptic junctions form, these are basics of how memory is stored within the brain. As each relates to one another the memory formation becomes stronger and more accessible. Memory is a complex network of storage sensation. So, how can we improve our memory capacity? One of the effective method is "Repetition". By repeating information multiple times each day, the neural connection becomes strengthen. If they are not used, they can deteriorate over time. The brain applies "Use it or Lose it" principle. Thus our brain has to be exercised, like other muscles in the body to work properly.
