Memory is not like a video camera; it edits the past with present experiences

Your memory is a wily time traveler, plucking fragments of the present and inserting them into the past, reports a new Northwestern Medicine® study. In terms of accuracy, it's no video camera.Rather, the memory rewrites the past with current information, updating your recollections with new experiences.Love at first sight, for example, is more likely a trick of your memory than a Hollywood-worthy moment.
