Understanding Memory Selection: An Insight into the Brain's Mechanisms
Throughout our lives, our brains constantly grapple with the challenge of memory selection, distinguishing which memories should be preserved and which should be discarded.

In contrast, a momentous occasion like winning a lottery can create a lasting memory. This fascinating phenomenon highlights the brain's remarkable ability to prioritize memories, a process rooted in complex neural mechanisms.
