Why do we remember? How do we forget? And what is memory, after all?
By answering these questions and more, the clever and hilarious book This Is My Forte gives us a fresh look at one of the most amazing human abilities. Two sisters from Norway, a neuropsychologist and renowned writer, skilfully weave history, science and their own research into the narrative, providing the reader with a breathtaking panorama of understanding memory - from the Renaissance and the discovery of the hippocampus, shaped like a seahorse, to our time. In the light of the most relevant scientific ideas of the XNUMXst century, the role of various parts of the brain, the reasons for forgetting childhood memories and memory difficulties during stress and depression are shown. The authors interview specialists of all stripes, from the world's largest neuroscientists to the daughter of Ingmar Bergman, who help to understand how our memory works, why it sometimes fails and what we can do to strengthen it. Covering cutting-edge science and engaging presentation, this book on human memory is truly unforgettable.
