How do we remember things?
Scientist are still not certain how the brain remembers things, but they have produced a likely explanation. They know that each cell in the brain is connected to thousands of other cells via connection points called synapses. They think that the brain stores new information by forming new sets of connections between cells, it is as if the cells in the brain are constantly being rewired. At first, information is stored in your short-term memory. The information is then transferred into your long-term memory, which can store it for days, months or even years.

Lost forever
Unlike other cells in your body, the cells in your brain cannot be replaced when they get worn out. As a result, the number of cells in your brain steadily decreases as you get older.
