A novelist and a neuroscientist uncover the secrets of human
memory. What makes us remember? Why do we forget? And what,
exactly, is a memory? With playfulness and intelligence, Adventures
in Memory answers these questions and more, offering an
illuminating look at one of our most fascinating faculties. The
authors-two Norwegian sisters, one a neuropsychologist and the
other an acclaimed writer-skillfully interweave history, research,
and exceptional personal stories, taking readers on a captivating
exploration of the evolving understanding of the science of memory
from the Renaissance discovery of the hippocampus-named after the
seahorse it resembles-up to the present day. Mixing metaphor with
meta-analysis, they embark on an incredible journey: "diving for
seahorses" for a memory experiment in Oslo fjord, racing taxis
through London, and "time-traveling" to the future to reveal
thought-provoking insights into remembering and forgetting. Along
the way they interview experts of all stripes, from the world's top
neuroscientists to famous novelists, to help explain how memory
works, why it sometimes fails, and what we can do to improve it.
Filled with cutting-edge research and nimble storytelling, the
result is a charming-and memorable-adventure through human memory.
