has occurred. The research is scattered in that it addresses many different issues ranging from where memories are stored to the differences between short- and long-term memory. As genetic research
continues, there will continue to be greater insights about the human mind and memory. In recent years, for instance, scientists have found that some memories are stored in the hippocampus
and/or the amygdala. Different types of memories are stored in different locations. One of the great breakthroughs is the knowledge that new synapses can be formed at any time in
a persons life. This is important as the elderly population increases in size. It is also important to know what inhibits learning and memory. For example substance use can derail
learning and memory. Highlights: Genetic research has found that new synapses can be formed even in the elderly population. Memories are stored in different locations in the brain.
Learning new things does promote the health of the brain. Keywords: Learning, Memory, Brain, Synapses, Learning promotes brain health. Introduction Memory is a complex and multifaceted topic and
new information about memory appears each week. This essay attempts to provide an overview of the many directions research on memory have taken over the last decade. Memory is intricately
related to learning. 1.1 Human Memory The human mind has often been compared to a computer. In fact, the advent of the computer allowed scientists to better understand
the human mind. One of the primary similarities between a computer and the mind is that both have different kinds of memory. Humans and computers have different kinds of
memory. The RAM is active memory and is temporary and if the power were cut suddenly, the computer would lose whatever is in the RAM but it also has long-term
