We do know that memories get rewritten every time they are remembered

We do know that memories get rewritten every time they are remembered
- xpct 2mo agoBy 'rewritten' do you mean refreshed, like learning material with spaced repetition, or some different/deeper concept? Do we 'move' that information to a different cluster of neurons?
- Kinrany 2mo agoI don't know the mechanics! Just the observation that memories recalled many times tend to change more. It kind of makes sense in that we do not retain the raw information, it's always interpreted, and it needs to be updated to be in line with other things we know.
