The Neuroscience and Genitics research center at UCLA have come the closest to finding the place where memories are written as well as stored in the brain. These memory engrams, which science found exist in vast webs throughout the brain as oppose to be in specific areas of the brain. We have found to lure specific memories into particular neurons. Inactive memories vanish, however if they are activated in a timely manner they return to as they were.
Engrams were discovered by a German biologist Richard Simon. A clear way to describe a memory engrams is like a byte, or a segment of a hardrive. It's not known where they are located, though. The more brain cells are lost the weaker the memories become.
The human brain contains approximately 100 billion synapses. They found a way to strengthen memories so physical outcomes would be greater
These are, in essence, is steroids for the brain, which causes selective amnesia.
