How Are Memories Stored And Retrieved In The Human Brain?

Can you help me understand these questions 1.     Theoretically, how is working memory similar to and different from long-term memory? 2.     How are memories formed in the brain (using neural circuitry), and how are they maintained? 3.     When is it adaptive to remember, and in what ways may it be adaptive to forget? 4.     Given what we know about brain mechanisms in memory, are our memories accurate? Explain your answer using information on how memories are stored in the brain. 5.     How can knowledge of the brain and memory systems be used to help individuals suffering from memory problems (e.g., poor memory, amnesia, PTSD)? 6.     What role do age and environment play in how memories are formed and maintained?

Hello,

If you are asking these questions out of curiosity or for academic purposes, answering through this platform is going to take at least a thousand sentences. May be more. Therefore, I suggest reading a book related to the subject or approach an academician in person.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
