Boy meets Girl..

This was an article in a British Newspaper that I have edited.

Have you ever wondered why you can't remember what you were doing five minutes ago, but clearly recall events such as your first kiss?

A new scientific discovery by scientists has shown that the answer is an interaction between hippocampus and amygdala in your brain. The amygdala is the part of the brain responsible for emotions, whole the hippocampus is concerned mainly with memory.

A dramatic event which exercises both of these sections of the brain at once is likely to remain locked in the memory for life.

Examples of this include the assassination of JFK, England winning the 1966 World Cup, Prince Charles's marriage to Diana, and the 9/11 incident in America. In these cases most people can remember exactly where they were and what they were doing at the time.

Scientists at Duke University in North Carolina found said 'we found evidence that the interaction between the emotional and memory regions occurred more systematically and consistently during the formation of emotional memories. They say that the two areas were interacting to help the brain successfully encode memory into the brain.

However, memories of less significance are likely to engage only the hippocampus and are stored short-term and quickly diminished or replaced by memories of other unremarkable events.

This could help medical study and treatment.

Great, so not only pot smoking is doing my memory in, but my efforts to try and remain unemotional at all times impinge on my ability to remember at all

Interesting though... perhaps then the key to helping improve people's memory is to get them really, really pissed off?

ahhhh my first kiss!

When I first read the title I though Hippo-Campus was some kind of genetic distater whilst evolving a hippo and a "campus"

Medical research my ass, every politican and marketing director is accessing this info and incorporating it into practice as we speak

They are trying to create another spectacle of Reagan&#39;s funeral like this, but I didn&#39;t even know he died most of the week as Idon&#39;t have tv,

Wow what a breakthrought by those scientists&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; <_< No offence CM, but hasn&#39;t people known about that ever since the time people started exploring the human brain ? And isn&#39;t that many, many years ago?

That what I thought. But no, it was not known; we experienced it but could not explain it scientifically (we did not know the reason why we remember certain things for such a long time and so clearly). The scientists did tests to notice the reaction between hippocampus and amygdala.

Catholic.

Shows what you know... I was a practicing catholic and lost my virginity before I was of legal age, let alone outside marriage

I don&#39;t even remember my first kiss

I don&#39;t remember the event, nor the surroundings. I do remember the person though I agree that this is nothing new - the link has been hypothesised for centuries. It&#39;s nice that we have some scientific evidence pointing towards it. I always like to be proved right
