Presentation:

Sometimes, when we study for too long, its seems like our brain can not hold more information.
We feel that there is no space for another data, and maybe, our storadge capacity has reached the
limit.

Brains storadge refers to the information that we saves in one of the three possible memories:
sensory memory, short memory and long memory. In that way, brain saves the information
without get overloaded.If we see something repeated several times, for a long time, our brain will
remain it in our long- memory, while other things are not important and they go to our short
memory.

In this way the memories are rebuilding and taking new elements from the different parts of the
brain, and they do not remain static. Although for the moment we do not remember some data,
the information is still there.

The human brain has a trillion neurons, and each forms a thousand connections with one another,
so they can work on multiple memories at the same time. If we measured the capacity of our
brain, we could say that it is close to 2.5 petabytes (one million gigabytes). If we compare it, we
could say that it is equivalent to 300 years in television programs.
