Synopsis "Los Secretos de la Memoria (in Spanish)"

Los secretos de la memoria Las historias humanas que revelaron qué es y cómo funciona la memoria Un viaje por los múltiples secretos de la memoria, con el experto en neurociencia y psicología cognitiva Héctor Ruiz Martín. Este libro nos adentra en una de las aventuras científicas más fascinantes en nuestro afán por descubrir quiénes somos, y lo hace a través de las historias humanas extraordinarias que nos han revelado las virtudes y los defectos de nuestro don más preciado: la memoria. Por sus páginas transitan algunos de los casos reales que han ayudado a los científicos a comprender el potencial y las limitaciones de nuestra capacidad para atesorar y rememorar el pasado, adquirir conocimientos, desarrollar habilidades, adoptar hábitos y, en definitiva, construir nuestra identidad. Porque... qué haríamos sin nuestra memoria? Qué seríamos si no pudiéramos mirar hacia atrás ni hacia delante en nuestras vidas? Héctor Ruiz Martín nos enseña que la memoria es la habilidad para aprender, y de su mano vemos cómo se desarrolla y organiza, qué factores influyen en ella y por qué nos falla en tantas ocasiones. Este viaje único nos recuerda que gracias a nuestros recuerdos todos somos más libres. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The human stories that revealed what memory is and how it works. A voyage through memory's many secrets, alongside neuroscience and cognitive psychology expert Héctor Ruiz Martín. This book plunges us into one of the most fascinating scientific adventures in our eagerness to uncover who we are, and does so through extraordinary human stories that have revealed the strengths and weaknesses of our most precious gift--memory. Within these pages we travel through some real cases that have helped scientists understand the potential and limitations of our ability to treasure and reminisce the past, acquire knowledge, develop skills, adopt habits, and most definitely build our own identity. Because... what would we do without our memories? Who would we be if we couldn't look back and forth at our lives? Héctor Ruiz Martín tells us that memory is the ability to learn, and with him as our guide we see how memory is developed and organized, which factors influence it, and why it fails us on so many occasions. This unique journey reminds us that, because of our memories, we are freer.
