The memory
Listen:
Use as many senses as possible when trying to learn something new.
New synapses (connections) are created between the neurons every time you learn something new.
The more synapses you have the better you remember AND the easier you have to learn new things
If you want to be smarter, know more, remember better do you need many synapses.

Short-term and long-term memory
Everything like you hear, see, read, think about right now is in your short-term memory - what you remember for the moment.
In the short-term memory box holds about seven things at a time.
The hippocampus chooses which things from the box will be long-term memories and what things are thrown away, fall into oblivion.
Long-term memories are more easily created by such you find it interesting, fun and exciting or what arouses emotions in you and you recognize.
