Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. You cannot trust your memory. That is not a criticism. It is neuroscience. Memory is not a recording. It is not a filing cabinet, a hard drive, or a videotape playing back the past. It is a reconstruction - assembled fresh each time you remember, shaped by who you are now, coloured by everything that has happened since, and capable of producing vivid, confident recollections of events that never occurred. This book is about what memory actually is, how it actually works, and why understanding it changes everything - about how you learn, how you grieve, how you age, and how much you should trust the story you tell yourself about your own past. Drawing on sixty years of neuroscience, Nathan K. Voss explores: Why the brain reconstructs the past rather than replaying it - and what this means for everything you think you rememberThe hippocampus: the seahorse-shaped structure that builds every memory you have ever formed - and why it is the first thing Alzheimer's destroysThe science of consolidation and why sleep is not rest but the night shift of memory formationWhy we forget - and why most forgetting is the system working correctly, not failingFlashbulb memories, emotion, and the neuroscience of why the most vivid memories are not always the most accurateThe seven sins of memory: transience, absent-mindedness, blocking, misattribution, suggestibility, bias, and persistenceAlzheimer's disease - what it does to the brain, why it starts where it does, and what the latest treatments can and cannot doTrauma, PTSD, and why traumatic memories are stored differently from ordinary ones - and what this means for treatmentFalse memories - how entirely fabricated events can feel more real than things that actually happened, and why this matters profoundly for the lawWhat the evidence actually shows about improving memory - and what the industry selling improvement would rather you didn't knowFor anyone who has ever forgotten something they swore they would remember, remembered something that never happened, or watched someone they love lose the thread of their own past - this book is essential reading. Memory is the most personal thing the brain does. Understanding it is understanding yourself. This item is printed on demand.
