How Our Memories Are Stored and Why We Forget

Memories are formed through connections between neurons, which are the cells in our brain responsible for transmitting information. When we learn something new, our brain creates these connections, forming pathways that lead to different memories. However, not all pathways are needed forever. Some memories may fade or become less relevant over time. Synaptic pruning helps our brains get rid of the connections that we don’t use often, making room for new ones. This is part of how our brains stay efficient and organized, ensuring that we can focus on what truly matters while letting go of less important information.
