In the video NOVA Memory Hackers, explains the idea of memory, and how in scientists are just learning what can happen to memories. Scientists learned that there are different kinds of memories such as long term, and short term. What scientists are learning how is altering memories, implanting new memories, and erasing memories, as well. Jim Maga, pioneer in science of memory and discovered H Sam. H Sam is autobiographical memory highly superior. Jake Hassler has H Sam, and is the youngest person ever known to have Sam. Another important scientist is Brenda Milner, who did a study on HM, Henry Molaison. Molaison had suffered long term anastasia. But in Milner study remarkable results were revealed that would make other question the possibilities

It has been realized that memories aren’t accurate as people think they are. Recalling memories makes people recall all of the five sense. Jake Hassler is the youngest person known to have H Sam. Jake has amazing memory being able to recall specific events on a certain day and year. Jake beginning so young it helps scientist scan his brain to figure out what makes H Sam. Jim Maga realized from reviewing the brain scans from multiple people with H Sam doesn't reveal a pattern to say this is a neurobiological basis of the brain in Sam cases. Jim Maga realize that people with H SAm have a normal …show more content…
That man was Eric Kandal, who extracted neuron from the slug. Those two neurons are connected through a synapse. Stimulated a long term memory by stimulating a the sensory neuron. That resulted in new synaptic connections started to grow. Long term memory actually involves an anatomical change in the brain where new connections are being formed. The growth of the synaptic allows memory to persist for days, months, years. He learned that consolidation is the process where our brains convert short-term memories into long-term ones, which is apart of recalling
