Interesting

This course has seemed the most interesting to me so far. I find it fascinating how our brain works in storing memories and their different types. What caught my attention the most was how physical damage to the brain and its areas, as well as the emotional or traumatic damage from an experience, can create interference, loss, or modification of our memory. It's something that made me reflect because, in my case, after I contracted COVID almost 3 years ago, my memory hasn't been the same and has recovered very slowly. For example, I have trouble saying the main word of the topic even though I am talking about that topic at the moment. It also happens that I forget the name of the song, but I remember the lyrics very well. I took a quick look at the areas of the brain and also find it logical how damage to the cerebellum, which is closer to the spine and the nervous system, can create uncoordination and give the impression of having a certain clumsiness when doing things with my hands. In reality, this is due to a lack of correct communication between brain areas and a deficient decoding of the process to execute certain actions.
