<p>The human memory, although truly an interesting and amazing thing to have, has its own faults.</p>
<p>Such as, forgetting what you were going to say, or not having long-term memory. Most of the time, you won't even think about how you think!
<br>Sometimes, we even....wait, <em>what was I going to say?</em></p>

<p>It seems that our memory is located not in one particular place in the brain, but is instead a brain-wide process in which several different areas
of the brain act in conjunction with one another (sometimes referred to as distributed processing). For example, the simple act of riding a bike is
actively and seamlessly reconstructed by the brain from many different areas: the memory of how to operate the bike comes from one area, the memory
of how to get from here to the end of the block comes from another, the memory of biking safety rules from another, and that nervous feeling when a
car veers dangerously close comes from still another. Each element of a memory (sights, sounds, words, emotions) is encoded in the same part of the
brain that originally created that fragment (visual cortex, motor cortex, language area, etc), and recall of a memory effectively reactivates the
neural patterns generated during the original encoding. Thus, a better image might be that of a complex web, in which the threads symbolize the
various elements of a memory, that join at nodes or intersection points to form a whole rounded memory of a person, object or event. This kind of
distributed memory ensures that even if part of the brain is damaged, some parts of an experience may still remain. Neurologists are only beginning
to understand how the parts are reassembled into a coherent whole.</p>
