          Forgetting: Not a Flaw, But a Brain’s Hidden Feature of Memory

          Recent studies suggest that forgetting might not just be a mere oversight of our brains, but a dynamic response to our changing environments. Neuroscientists propose that as environments shift, forgetting irrelevant memories can foster adaptability and better decision-making.

          Forgetting Does Not Reverse the Learning Process

          Forgetting generates a novel brain state that is different from either the one before learning occurred or the one that exists while a learned behavior is still remembered.

          Key to learning and forgetting identified in sleeping brain

          Using optogenetics to dampen delta waves of rats during sleep resulted in weaker memory reactivation and promoted forgetting. The findings could have significant implications for treating PTSD in humans.
