So, you know, you can think about, if we think about, you know, how memories are formed in the brain, they're formed by synapses forming connections between different neurons. Okay, so we create these networks of of connections between different neurons in the brain. And some of those networks have lots and lots of connections to them.

Okay, so we create these networks of of connections between different neurons in the brain. And some of those networks have lots and lots of connections to them.
So there's like lots and lots of roads or routes to that particular memory, lots of paths by which we can access it. But some of our memories are kind of, those networks are a little less dense and there are fewer connections to them. So we don't have as many kind of easy routes to them. So they're kind of less easily accessed in a lot of ways.

And that's kind of that feeling that sometimes we have where, you know, you're walking down a street and then something, it could be a smell or a sight or just something really small triggers a memory that you haven't thought of for years and years and years.

And that is, you know, it was some memory, some kind of something that was stored in such a way that it had relatively few connections to other parts of your memory. And then but then something you essentially accidentally found yourself on the road to that memory and you're retrieving it.

And so, you know, when we think about that kind of inside out idea of decluttering the memory in some ways, yeah, that that does happen to an extent that we are condensing down kind of the gist, you know, so out of all this list of US presidents, for example, which ones do I actually need to remember and which of them can I just collate into a list of there was a load of other guys who were probably all called Andrew, you know, so I think.

I could not tell you the names of more than about six U.S. presidents. So there's ways that we can condense down what's actually going to be really important here.

people on average tend to remember positive events more than negative events over time. We tend to kind of let a lot of the negative stuff go and keep a lot of the positive stuff.
