Our Brain



Our brain is so powerful and incredible because it remembers every event that we experience. It also continues to store and creates data and image patterns that differ from one even to another even if we are at rest. My question is this what will happen if our brain will be running out of memory or storage? Is it possible that our brain will run out of storage?

I feel that your brain does not run out of space. You can still teach an old dog new tricks and habits can form. I have never heard of an elderly person saying that they have no more memory room.. although I always  hear my students say that!

I think our brains gather and discard information, memories, images, etc. as is necessary. We don't need to remember everything we have once known so our brains will delete some useless information to make room for something more relevant.

Our brain gathers and discards information. But it seems to gather less of it and discard more of it as we age. I also think that again as we age, the recall process becomes more difficult and slower. Often we know that we know (I guess that's like 'diffuse' knowing) but we can't bring up the information.

I think our brains constantly update information, as we enter the new knowledge at the same time, if not to review old knowledge, it will be lost.

The brain does in fact discard information to make way for new memories, this process also happens when we are asleep in addition to the brain replaying thoughts to remember them.
