Do not look down on the

Research by scientists in Canada has shown "goldfish brain" is a sign that the brain works extremely well.

Try it, have you ever gone crazy when you asked someone to help you do something important, but they "remember to forget and forget" and missed it?

But are you good, who "goldfish brain" (referring to forgetful people ) own a sensitive brain? Specifically, this forgetfulness is because their brains work extremely well when they can separate minutiae from the main event.

People with "goldfish brains" possess very sharp brains.

This is the conclusion made by researchers at the University of Toronto (Canada). Accordingly, the experts here discovered, the development of new neurons in the hippocampus (hippocampus responsible for memory) will remove old information, unnecessary, make way record more important and useful information.

A 2007 study conducted magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and monitored brain changes in 20 healthy volunteers.

They were asked to do a simple memory test, the results showed that people remember well with conflicting information rather than repeated or too easy information.

Or remember forgetting shows a good activity of the brain at that time.

Michael Anderson, of the University of Oregon, said: "Remembering forgetting represents a good activity of the brain at that time. That means they can eliminate and establish a neurobiological basis for process of filtering out this information ".

Although no further empirical evidence is available, Professor Blake Richards of the University of Toronto and his colleague Paul Frankland carefully reviewed previously published documents and came to a conclusion.

Thereby, they found many evidence supporting the idea - "forgetting" is a quite useful phenomenon .

From this finding, the team has shown a few benefits for this "goldfish brain" . For a person, the brain if you want to get rid of useless information like old passwords, sad stories . then the brain is "easy to" , difficult to make specific decisions in each case.

Forget about this information makes it easier to generalize previous events.

Forget about this information makes it easier to generalize previous events - such as the number of visits we make to the store, not the details of what each visit can buy.

So, don't be too worried when you forget to remember something sad or sad when someone yells at you, "goldfish brain".

Because your brain is working very well, and that forgetting is just to reserve space to store more important, useful information.
