There is no past, the brain cannot calculate the future!

The future is always shaped from memory, if there is no past, the brain will not work ?!

From which experiment?

Karl Szpunar of Washington State University of Missouri has functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) on 21 youths Picture 1 of There is no past, the brain cannot calculate the future! bees while they are thinking about future plans, with the aim of comparing brain regions in areas that help reminiscent of memories. The result: the brain regions of these subjects work the same!

Explain how?

We always anticipate actions that will happen to ourselves based on the contexts we already know. For example, when we think of an upcoming birthday, we always remember last year's birthday. The forehead cortex, which controls thoughts for the coming, will then coordinate with the hippocampus, which is the center of memory, to help us visualize what events or events will occur.

Why?

This study also helps to understand the " double shortage " situation in those who are forgetful and children under 5 years old: by not remembering, or unable to get past, these subjects will not be able to think of intended for the future!
