Thought for Today

Memory takes a lot of poetic license. It omits some details while others are exaggerated, according to the emotional value of the articles it touches, for memory is seated predominantly in the heart.

–Tennessee Williams

Our search for the seat and mechanisms of memory has been a long and intense one. And now focuses exclusively on the brain.

Still the answers elude us.

Perhaps the search has become too narrow in its focus.

What if the network of memory and recall is wider than a single organ?

 

Stay tuned.
