It's a question that has puzzled sages and scholars for centuries: why does our memory matter?
Is it because it allows us to recall the exact recipe for our favorite dish from 1987? Or perhaps it's because it lets us relive the thrill of our first kiss with that person we met at the keg stand in 2003?
Whatever the reason, our memories are what make us who we are, and losing them would be like losing a piece of ourselves.
But don't just take our word for it! Check out our The Science of Memory subpage for more information on the intricacies of brain function.
Or, if you're feeling nostalgic, head over to Memory Keepsakes to find some retro-style memorabilia that'll transport you back in time.
