Neuroscientists have discovered how the brain compresses memories of say, a trip to the grocery store or an entire episode of a TV show, into just a few seconds. This compression also works forward in time, allowing us to imagine and plan future events quickly. It would be hard to make sense of our experiences or make decisions about the future without this ability. There are also implications for diseases like Alzheimer's and schizophrenia.Fonte: EurekAlert! - Breaking News
