Most of us think “perfect” memory means never forgetting, but maybe forgetting actually helps us navigate a world that is random and ever-changing. So say two neuroscientists in a review published today in the journal Neuron. The argument is that memory isn’t supposed to act like a video recorder, but instead like a list of useful rules that help us make better decisions, says study co-author Blake Richards, a University of Toronto professor who studies the theoretical links between artificial intelligence and neuroscience. So it makes sense that our brains would make us forget outdated, irrelevant information that might confuse us, or information that leads us astray. We have yet to find the limits of what the human brain can store, and there’s more than enough room, so to speak, for us to remember everything. Still, the brain actually spends energy making us forget, by generating new neurons that “overwrite” the old ones, or by weakening the connections between neurons. But why does it do so if our brains aren’t running out of space? Firstly, forgetting old information can make us more efficient. In the new paper, Richards sites a 2016 study in which scientists trained mice to find a water maze. The maze location was moved, and then some of the mice were given a drug that helped them forget the original location. The mice who forgot the first round of training found the new maze more quickly. Just think about all the times you’ve memorized the wrong name, and then later wished that you could remove that memory and stop confusing it with the right name.
