Prof. Dr. Denise Manahan-Vaughan, Neurophysiology, Faculty of Medicine

When we learn we store what we have learned in our brain. That is to say we store this information in our neurons. How is it possible for us to be able to create so many memories, which sometimes last for a lifetime? Does forgetfulness mean that our brain is no longer healthy? This lecture will explain the physiology of memory formation.
