The word "memory" is derived from the ancient Greek myth of Mnemosyne, the mother of the Muses, who was "said to know everything, past, present, and future." Memory is essential to our existence, and one of neuroscience's primary missions is to understand how the brain processes memory and to improve treatments for Alzheimer's disease, traumatic brain injury, drug addiction, and the many other afflictions associated with disrupted memory. Our article traces scientists' progress in understanding memory over the last 15 years.
“记忆”一词源于古希腊神话中缪斯女神之母谟涅摩叙涅，据说她“知晓一切，过去、现在和未来”。记忆对我们的生存至关重要，神经科学的主要任务之一就是了解大脑如何处理记忆，并改善对阿尔茨海默病、创伤性脑损伤、药物成瘾以及与记忆紊乱相关的许多其他疾病的治疗。我们的文章追溯了科学家在过去15年里对记忆的理解进展。
