Memory

Memory in living creatures refers to the processes by which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved in the brain or nervous system. It enables organisms to retain past experiences, learn, and adapt to their environment. Memory is typically categorized into short-term, long-term, and sensory memory, each with distinct mechanisms and functions. In animals, memory is crucial for survival, influencing behaviors such as navigation, foraging, and social interaction. Research on memory spans neuroscience, psychology, and biology, revealing complex molecular and cellular underpinnings.
