The Rewriting Brain: Your Evolving Memories

Your brain literally rewrites your memories every single time you recall them. Scientists discovered that

memories aren't stored like video files. Instead, each time you remember something,

your brain reconstructs it from scratch. It adds new details and emotions from your current

state. That embarrassing thing you did in high school? You've probably remembered

it so many times... ...that what you recall now is completely different from

what actually happened. Your most vivid memories might be your least accurate ones.
