Engram

An engram is a term used in psychology and neuroscience to describe the physical trace or representation of a memory in the brain. When we learn something new or have an experience, our brain forms connections between neurons, creating a lasting change that can be recalled later. This change is what we refer to as an engram. Essentially, it's the neural basis of memory, helping us remember facts, skills, and experiences over time. Understanding engrams is crucial for exploring how memories are formed, stored, and retrieved.
