Summary Introduction

To determine:

Consider the ethical issues that may be involved in altering or deleting people’s memories.

Concept introduction:

Memories are made up of the information—good and bad—that gets encoded and stored in the brain’s long-term storage system. While certain parts of the brain, such as the temporal lobes, are important for encoding new memories, memory is stored across different brain regions. When memories are recalled, we remember or re-experience information or moments in our lives. These memories can be painful or pleasant. They can also help us complete a task or perform an action.
