ORIGINAL: horationelson Long-term Memory Long-term memory is where most of the action happens regarding the brain actually remembering things. This starts with encoding. Encoding is where the details of a long-term memory such as smells, colors or information are stored in the hippocampus of the brain. The hippocampus and frontal cortex then take all of this information and turn it into electrical signals that can be distributed to different areas of the brain connected by nerve pathways and synapses. One part of the brain may store the smell involved with the memory, while another part of the brain may remember a color, number, or even emotion. Snyapse How strong a memory remains in your brain depends on the strength of the synapse between the nerve cells associated with the memory. The more you practice or think about a piece of information stored in your brain, the more that particular synapse is going to be used. As the synapse is used more frequently, it grows in strength. This allows the memory to be more vivid and clear in your mind. If you do not access the memory often, the synapse begins to weaken. This may cause you to forget, or have a hard time remembering a memory that has not been accessed in some time. One other thing i observed as for myself is that things that i learned as a teenager/kid (even those things which i didn't practiced a lot, but just learned for a short period of time) seam to have been burnt and etched in my mind (kind of like those related synapses seam to have been made of iron at that time :). One example: i learned "spanish romance":D around 20 years ago. And i swear i haven't played it the last 20 years. And for many years i even didn't touched the guitar at all. And just a few days ago i heard it in radio, grabbed my guitar, and i played it without mistakes. The interesting thing is that i couldn't remember (visualize!) the chords, etc. i just played without thinking and my hand moved to the right chords and notes without thinking. This is NOT the case with newer stuff i learned during the last years. It works totally different, i have to think, remember, visualise, prepare for the next chord, etc.
