What predicts why you remember some information and forget the rest?
The brain has to be ready to remember information or it is likely to be forgotten.
The hippocampus — the part of the brain important for memory — has to be in ‘encoding mode’.
In encoding mode, neurons in the hippocampus are firing at an accelerated rate.
Unfortunately, neuroscientists do not yet know how to put the hippocampus into encoding mode.
