The article explains how our perception of time is influenced by brain processes, with time seeming to pass faster when engaged in novel or exciting activities and slower during routine or boring moments. It highlights that our brains infer time based on change and memory density, which explains why years feel short when routines dominate and why time seems to fly as we age. To make time feel longer, creating new memories and experiences is recommended.

New research shows that romantic partners synchronize their brain activity during storytelling, leading to a shared form of forgetting where they tend to forget related details, a phenomenon less observed among strangers. This neural alignment, especially in the prefrontal cortex, facilitates a shared reality but may cause loss of individual memories, highlighting how close relationships influence cognitive processes.

Recent neuroscience research reveals that long-term memories are formed through a sequence of molecular timers across different brain regions, particularly involving the thalamus, cortex, and hippocampus. These timers regulate whether memories are stabilized or fade, with gene programs like Camta1, Tcf4, and Ash1l playing crucial roles. This understanding could lead to new treatments for memory-related diseases such as Alzheimer's.

Research suggests that getting sufficient deep sleep may help delay or reduce Alzheimer's symptoms by supporting memory and brain health, even in individuals with high levels of Alzheimer's-related proteins. Improving sleep quality through lifestyle changes could be a promising way to protect cognitive function as we age.
