Dee’s Reviews > The Forgetting Machine: Memory, Perception, and the "Jennifer Aniston Neuron" > Status Update

how'd you like it?

it was great! there was a lot i didn’t know about memory/memorization techniques/what parts of the brain aid in memory/etc and the author included a lot of interesting, specific cases concerning people + their brains (like “patient HM”/henry molaison having his hippocampus removed and not being able to form new long-term memories, someone having a specific neuron fire every time they saw a picture of jennifer aniston, etc)

and i liked the narrator. he played a borg in star trek: first contact

ah yes, the Jennifer Aniston neuron, we all have one

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll have to check it out too <3
