The Engram, or The Memory Trace (book)

"The Engram, or The Memory Trace" explores the neurological basis of how memories are stored in the brain. An engram is a physical change—such as new connections between neurons or modifications within neurons—that encodes a specific memory. When we experience something, our brain creates these enduring traces, allowing us to recall information later. The book discusses scientific research revealing how engrams form, how they might be altered or erased, and their importance in understanding learning, memory disorders, and potential treatments. It bridges neuroscience concepts with practical implications for memory-related health issues.
