The Cells That Remember


I remember reading somewhere that it's not just our brain and nerve endings/pathways (in the brain) that remember... even our skin cells are capable of retaining information.


I think generally I may have a pretty lousy memory.
Or maybe most people are the same.
Can YOU remember your primary school years?
I hardly do.
Just a vague impression and several isolated incidents maybe.



But then there are triggers...
Sights
Smells
Sounds
A collection of several
that will help to dig out something I've forgotten.

I wish to remember more good stuff.
Humans are built, unfortunately, to remember the bad stuff much easier.
Episodic memory and all that stuff...




Which is why I have this blog.
It's my reminder to myself.
