Forgetting refers to the apparent loss of, or inability to access, information previously acquired and stored in memory. It is now proven that having a good memory depends on multiple factors, the most prominent being the brain's ability to create new neurons and synaptic connections.Until the late 1990s, science held that the creation of new neurons stopped by adulthood. This implied that the brain would shrink, and cognitive abilities would gradually and increasingly deteriorate with age. However, recent breakthroughs in neuroscience have revolutionised our understanding of the brain. It is now confirmed that the brain continues to form new cells throughout life. This fascinating process, known as ''Neurogenesis'', allows the brain to upgrade itself and elevate cognitive and emotional intelligence to new levels.Researchers have found that a high rate of neurogenesis means you are vibrant, expansive, and fulfilling your objectives. Your cognitive abilities are enhanced, and your emotional vitality is exuberant. You are less likely to experience depression and anxiety, and your immune system is stronger. Conversely, when neurogenesis is low, your brain's abilities decline, your learning capacity diminishes, and you become more susceptible to memory disruption and cognitive deficits. You are also more vulnerable to depression, anxiety, and a myriad of health problems. Therefore, fostering high neurogenesis is one of the most important investments you can make for better health and a better life.The issue is that despite these scientific breakthroughs, we are not fully utilising our neurogenesis potential to enhance our intelligence.
