Recent Neuroscience Studies Uncover Surprising Memory Insights

Recent neuroscience studies reveal that memory is an active, adaptable system influenced by emotion, attention, and bodily processes, with findings showing how emotional arousal can blur memories, repetition strengthens emotional memories via the amygdala, chewing may boost memory through antioxidants, stress can distort and generalize memories, non-neural cells can 'remember' stimuli, long-term memory stability involves molecular mechanisms, and attention is only influenced by memory when actively engaged.
