Re: Why does the brain remember?
It,s strange how the brain 'remembers' things but has forgotten others. My pre school days (Early 1930s) are fresh in my memory. I can remember vividly the son of my neighbour sitting on his doorstep playing When I Grow too Old to Dream on a piano accordion. I can remember the hunt chasing a fox across our garden. I can remember my first day at school. I remember getting the cane for running away at playtime. All this before I was five years old but can I remember things from my teens ? Can I heck.But I can remember the number on my first motor byke LWV 10. One thing I, and every other ex serviceman will always remember and that is my army number.

Re: Why does the brain remember?
I can remember my account number.The letters and number that I type in,to log into off.
For me,Iff I do something often,then I can remember.
My mobile number I can't remember,I use it quite a lot lately,but for some reason I am not interested in remembering the number,which I find a bit odd.
