Thank you for listening to Talky Taffy, where we take a bite out of a titillating topic and savor it.

On this episode, Emily and Doug discuss imperfections in our memory, starting with a review of how the brain physically stores memores (callback to episode 1 of the show when we discussed myelinization). Emily teaches us high-level details about how memory works and how we store memory in our brains. We then discuss the different kinds of errors that affect our ability to store and then recall memories. We conclude with a few fun facts about memory and our best theories about how it all works.

You can watch us live on Twitch every other Wednesday at 5:30 PM central time. We're also on Twitter and Discord!
