The mysterious human brain....

It's strange....what is you ask? The human brain and it's filing mechanism. Our brain stores many TBs of memories and yet at some strange moment it brings up vivid but yet long forgotten memories. You wouldn't know what acted as a catalyst but a memory that you didnt think was still there would rise up as vividly as if it had happened yesterday. I still cant figure out how the neurological aspects of memory storage, retention and retrieval work but Im sure that they work just fine at the appropriate time. I mostly dont mind it when my brain brings up some stuff but there are times when a word, a song, a place triggers the neurons and painful and best forgotten memories are dragged out fom the pits of your subconsciousness. they are vivid with accurate details and you end up wondering "how did i get from there to this present state of mine?". Why did i remember this now? Why had i made those choices that had changed my life so? The how and why of these questions are inexplicable as the neurological filing mechanism of the brain...both are best unresolved to the common man/woman...what do you think???
