The Boy Who Can't Forget (Medical Documentary) | Real Stories

because normal memory doesn't work like that. I think I have solved a question that is that

real

and the answer is yes, it is

real

. The questions that remain are how and why Professor Matson had been preparing a pioneering experiment that could unlock the secrets of Aelion's mind. It's these exceptional cases that really give the first clue that you know the first clue of something we don't know. We still know something that could really change the way we look at memory recovery, so it's really an exciting time. We traveled together to the professor's homeland, Italy. Aurelan had an appointment at a hospital where the professor had assembled a reliable team to wait for.

The brain scan would reveal what happens when Aurelian remembers and the test they were about to do was one that had never been done before and I think we should be almost ready to go now, which is lovely, it's exciting, AIA, can you ? Listen to me, Aelion's brain had never been examined. Professor Matson wanted to see if he was different from everyone else. Great, look at that, sorry, that's a very, very clear image of the corpus colos, which is this part that connects the two hemispheres of the brain. Great, the first scans revealed the structure of the brain and how well different areas are connected, but it was the second functional scan in an hour that the American team had not yet done.

Well, we are near the end of this race. Aelion's brain activity was recorded while I remembered what happened in a huge list of dates, there was no second response and immediately the other blue okay, good control 6 7 8 now well uh What does Luca suggest is that we need to open a bottle bow? Congratulations Aria, you did it. I'm very pleased with what emerged from the imaging data of your brain and, in particular, the functional data of the type of activation that was occurring when you were initially recovering the memory. Yeah, okay, you were using a lot of visual information. mhm areas so it's like those areas are particularly strong in you and really help your memory in the first moments of retrieving a memory, it seems that aureliano uses areas of the brain that the rest of us don't use, there is something really extraordinary about this data , because we have been able to see that Orelien actually accesses memories very, very quickly compared to the average person, as if memories are represented as a pre-packaged fact that therefore becomes accessible without much effort.

I really think this could tell us about potentials in the brain that might not be exploited in quotes, average people, it's wonderful to be able to be in that moment when things could change, it could be in this little revolution. As for how I think my brain causes a revolution, the fundamental question is: can we all be trained in a way that allows us to function like Oran? Dr. mcore and his team have a group of these people to study. We've been comparing how the structure of their brains differs from ours, but the truth is that none of these scientists have yet made sense of this extraordinary ability.

It's a very rare ability, so we're doing Sherlock Holmes detective work and the answer is. It's going to be complicated, we know that these people's brains differ in some ways from other people, we know that there are some regions of the brain that are smaller, some are larger and some have different shapes, that's something at the beginning, remember that It's Sherlock Holmes, the mystery is not solved. on page one and we're still on page one 23 after spending a summer with these remarkable people trying to uncover the truth there's a question that's constantly on my mind suppose it were possible to have a memory like this is something the rest of us all we would like I feel like my memory has ruled my life I feel like no matter how no matter what my memory has ruled my life it's like I remember all the questions to really think about remembering like 35 years ago right now and how you felt and and how or what someone told you and how that has never changed you know it can be very, very tormenting there is not a day that I am not stressed about something or thinking about something from 20 years ago, that means absolutely nothing today but it still bothers me or it still bothers me Does it bother me or does it still bother me and it's ridiculous but you know it's like yesterday it really is like it was yesterday I'm happy but I know you said you could remember every The only time we've seen each other since we were together and stuff, do you ever Will you be angry with me for

forget

ting it?

No, it doesn't really bother me. You get it, so that's the moral. Yes, it could be something that I could feel quite jealous because you know that good days that we have together, like today for example, you will remember it forever, while I will slowly fade from my memory and there it is. There is nothing negative about being able to remember something. I don't think there is. I think the more I think about it, the more I think it's a really nice thing to have and I think the good thing is that now I know it's something special.

I think I will value it more than you.
