Why Some Memories Just Won’t Quit

Ever wonder why you can remember your most embarrassing moment from middle school but can’t recall what you had for lunch yesterday? Turns out, your brain is picky about what it keeps. Emotional moments, a good night’s sleep, and even how many neurons get involved all play a role in what sticks. Your brain is basically Marie Kondo-ing your memories—if it sparks emotion, it stays. If not, poof! Gone. Want to remember more? Sleep, repeat, and connect those memories! #Health #MentalHealth #Memory
