Why do we forget? Is it necessary to put up with the inconvenients of our memory failures? The 2016 Brain Award winner Richard Morris shares with us his long-time experience researching the brain and its mechanisms, sharing important insights on how do we build up memories and why we should only worry about forgetting when it affects the most important parts of our life.
