It is the brain's ability to retain information and retrieve it voluntarily. That is, memory is what allows us to remember facts, ideas, sensations, relationships between concepts, and all kinds of stimuli that occurred in the past.

Although the hippocampus is the brain structure most related to memory, we cannot locate memories in a specific point of the brain, but a large number of brain areas are involved.

Moreover, this ability is one of the cognitive functions most commonly affected by age. Fortunately, memory can be trained through cognitive stimulation and various types of mental games.
