how do memories remain as our brain cells replicate?

270 views

if our thoughts and memories are chemical connections in our brain, and our bodies cells are always splitting at certain rates then at some point your brain would be new cells that didn’t have first hand experience with a particular memory or knowledge. How does the thought/idea/memory remain???

The cells in your brain are special, and (as long as you don’t do anything to hurt them) they stick with you for life.

In fact, there comes a certain point where you dont even make any more brain cells. So you’re stuck with the amount you have.

Someone with a more intimate understanding and of memory can talk about it more specifically, but all of your new brain cells (when you’re making them) are exact copies of the ones (with your memory’s) that came before.
