Hey there and welcome to Life Noggin!
大家好！欢迎来到脑洞大开的生命奇想！
Have you ever tried to remember something but couldn’t?

Just the other day, I was trying to remember where I hid Triangle Bob’s birthday present.
就在前几天，在我回想我把三角鲍勃的生日礼物藏到哪里的时候，
I searched the whole house but still couldn’t find it!

It would be so much easier if we all had perfect memories and never forgot anything.
如果我们都拥有完美的记忆力，从不会忘记任何事情，那就会简单许多。
But is that possible? What would it be like if it was?
但是这是有可能实现的吗？如果我们拥有完美的记忆力的话会怎么样？

Okay, now back to the video - Well, without cybernetic implants in your noggin, a perfect memory might be out of reach,
好了，让我们继续吧，如果不在你的脑子里植入神经植入物的话，拥有完美的记忆力似乎是不可能的。
but there are conditions that greatly increase a person’s memory. One of them is called hyperthymesia.
但是有一些情况可以大大地提升人的记忆力。其中一种情况就是超忆症。
Hyperthymesia is a rare mental state or neurological condition where a person has a very detailed autobiographical memory.
超忆症是一种罕见的精神状态或神经系统疾病，患者有非常详细的自传体记忆。
Basically, they remember a lot about their past: much more than the average person.
基本上，他们对自己的过去记得很多：比普通人多得多。
Some even claim to be able to remember every day of their life since childhood!
有些人甚至声称能够记住他们从小生活的每一天!
What’s super interesting about this condition is that people with hyperthymesia typically don’t have an exceptional memory about everything:
这种情况特别有趣的地方是，患有超忆症的人通常对所有事情都没有特别的记忆：
it’s mainly restricted to what happened in their life and their own personal experiences.
他们的记忆主要局限于他们生活中发生的事情和他们自己的个人经历。
Hyperthymestic recall also seems to be an unconscious effort, where a person often remembers things without even trying.
患有超忆症的人回忆时似乎也是一种无意识的努力，一个人经常不费力就能记住事情。
Just looking at an old calendar might trigger a detailed memory of something that had happened on that specific date.
仅仅是看一个旧日历就可能触发对那个特定日期发生的事情的详细记忆。
Nope. We not gonna talk about what happened that Saturday.
别了，我们别讨论发生在那个周六发生的事情了。
All i'm gonna say is I bought this goat suit for NO REASON! So how can someone have such an exceptional memory about their life?
我想说的只是，我没有理由就买了这件山羊西服！那么，一个人怎么会对自己的生活有如此特别的记忆呢？
Well, the answer might lie within your amygdala. Now back to that wonderful amygdala of yours.
答案可能就藏在你的杏仁核里面。现在让我们看看你那美妙的杏仁核。
According to a recent study on hyperthymesia, your amygdala may play a bigger role in your autobiographical memory than we once thought.
根据最近一项关于超忆症的研究，你的杏仁核在你的自传体记忆中所起的作用可能比我们想象的要大。
Compared to those without the condition, the researchers found that HK, a man with autobiographical hyperthymesia,
HK是一个患超忆症的患者，研究人员把他跟正常人对比后发现，
had an enhanced amygdala-to-hippocampus connection and greater right amygdala hypertrophy, approximately 20 percent.
他的杏仁核与海马体的连接增强，右侧杏仁核肥大，约20%。
Based on these findings, the researchers believe that your amygdala may charge your autobiographical memories with emotional, social, and self-relevance.
基于这些发现，研究人员认为，杏仁核可能会使你的自传体记忆与情感、社交和自我相关。
This may very well allow you to store more autobiographical information, so not bad!
这可能会让你储存更多自传体记忆，所以还不错!
Now if I could just remember where I put Triangle Bob’s present. Oh yeah! It was a doughnut.
我要是能想起我把三角鲍勃的礼物放在哪里就好了。想起来了！是一个甜甜圈。
I ate it. Well sometimes things just happen.
我把它吃了。有时候这种事情难免发生嘛。
While we don’t know for certain what it would be like if we never forgot anything,
虽然我们不知道如果我们从来不会忘记发生过的事会是什么样子，
we can look at what life is like for people with hyperthymesia and extrapolate a little bit.
我们可以看看患超忆症的人的生活是什么样子，以此推断一下拥有完美记忆力的情况。
Though it may seem really useful to be able to remember so much, hyperthymesia has its downsides.
虽然能记住那么多东西似乎是有用的，患超忆症也有其弊端。
It can feel like a burden at times, causing people to be lost in a stream of memories that they don’t always have control over.
它有时会让人觉得是一种负担，让人迷失在无法控制的一连串记忆中。
Having this type of uncontrollable recall can make a person spend a lot of their time focused on the past
这种无法控制的回忆会让人把很多时间花在过去，
rather than moving on and worrying about the future.
而不是继续前进，操心未来。
This could be even worse if you had a perfect memory.
如果你拥有了完美的记忆力，这种情况可能会更糟糕。
Hyperthymesia can also feel pretty isolating.
超忆症患者也可能会感觉很隔绝。
Some with the condition have even described it like they were fluent in a language no one else spoke or that it felt like everyone else has amnesia compared to them.
一些有这种情况的人甚至说，他们能流利地说别人不会说的语言，或者跟他们相比，其他人都有健忘症。
These feelings could be intensified for someone who never forgot anything.
对于一个从未忘记任何事情的人来说，这种感觉可能会更加强烈。
It makes sense, since you’d be able to remember so many things that your friends couldn’t.
这是有道理的，因为你可以记住很多你的朋友不能记住的事情。
Oh. Right. Your present. Um. Here's a hug from me? Okay! Too long. That's too long! We're done!
哦。好吧。这是你的礼物。嗯，这是要给我一个拥抱吗?好吧!太久了。那太久了!我们完成了!
So what do you think? Would you want to have a perfect memory?
你觉得怎么样？你想拥有完美的记忆力吗？
Let me know in the comment section below! Enjoyed this video?
在下面的评论区告诉我吧!喜欢这个视频吗?
Check out the one we did on what it's like to have no memory.
看看我们做过的关于没有记忆是什么感觉的视频吧。
Research shows that losing your memory to a disease like Alzheimer's isn't just about forgetting facts you learned in school, or the name of the street you grew up on.
研究表明，像阿尔茨海默氏症这样的疾病会让你失去记忆，这并不仅仅意味着你会忘记在学校里学到的知识，或者你成长的街道的名字。
It can progress into forgetting how to go through your daily routines like eating and getting dressed.
它可能会发展成忘记如何处理你的日常事务，比如吃饭和穿衣服。
As always, my name is Blocko, this has been Life Noggin, don't forget to keep on thinking!
我是宝高，这里是脑洞大开的生命奇想。思考不要停！
