It is bewildering how some memories grip us for life, whereas others completely disappear. It turns out, the brain creates and eliminates these memories. What are the neural mechanisms behind memory formation? Discussed in this episode: Pioneers in neuroscientific memory research, Donald Hebb's influential postulates on memory in the brain, Eric Kandel's work confirming Hebb's postulates, the ground-breaking case of H.M.'s surgically-induced amnesia, the neural mechanisms of memory formation, where memories are stored in the brain, and optogenetic research on memory manipulation.

Further reading: Matthew Cobb, "The Idea of the Brain: A History" (Profile Books, 2020).
