Hosted by Gil Solano, this episode of The CortiCare Podcast welcomes neuroscientist Dr. Marcelo Diaz-Bustamante for an enlightening discussion on memory—how it works, where it lives in the brain, and why we remember (or forget) the things we do.
Together, they cover:
🔹 How memory involves multiple brain regions, including the hippocampus, cortex, amygdala, basal ganglia, and cerebellum
🔹 The difference between short-term and long-term memory, with real-life patient examples
🔹 The role of synaptic plasticity, LTP, and LTD in encoding and erasing memories
🔹 How sleep, environment, and experiences shape memory consolidation
🔹 Practical ways to support memory and cognitive health through diet, exercise, meditation, and anti-inflammatory foods
The takeaway is clear: memory is a complex, dynamic system, and understanding it can help us protect and enhance brain function.
