The human brain attempts to block undesirable memories, resulting in the formation of false memories. The brain generates false memories over precise recollections to protect the person from traumatic reoccurrence.
The brain also act's like the body's information center, interpreting information and guiding the body's response. The brain works in perplexing ways that no human can understand. Cerebrum, cerebellum, diencephalon, and brain stem determine the overall work of the brain. The cerebrum handles the most important part of the brain, the memory. Memory affects the capacity of learning in a person. Memory can be considered a component of generalized knowledge. As Preston says, "Memories are not just for reflecting on the past; they help us make the best decisions for the future." The cerebellum's role involves balancing the body's function from information transferred through the brain by human senses. The cerebellum involves some cognitive functions in the procedure of processing procedural memories. Procedural memory is responsible for knowing how to do things such as walking. This explains why you never forget how to ride a bike once you have learned once. Procedural memory stores this information and makes it impossible to go out. When picking up a bike after a considerable amount of time, the mind manages to recall how the pedals function. The body might not be accustomed to the movement of the body just yet, but it recollects how to steer a handle. The brain stem plays a role along with the cerebellum. It helps the mind retain the long term memories in a person's life. The diencephalon floats just above the brain stem, located in the cerebrum. Its main job is to regulate the body's sensory function and the ability to sleep. These two functions play a major role in the life of a human being. It has been proven that humans are not capable of surviving long without sleep.
