Investigating the complexities of human memory, this program looks at research on false memories, fake news, and the power of suggestion. It discusses how memories are stored and recalled, the crucial role attention plays in total recall, and working memory capacity. It also looks at an international study that aims to identify biomarkers that could help target interventions for Alzheimer's Disease years before memory loss and confusion develop. The final segment asks the question, what if we could transplant memories from one creature to another?
