This week in class we learned about the different parts of the brain and what they do. I found aphasia extremely interesting, so I looked it up on YouTube to see what I could find. I did end up finding some really neat videos, but I actually found one about a woman who cannot forget anything. Jill Price has the ability to literally remember everything. Some people might find this really cool, but Jill has had many issues because of it. While she is able to remember the good things about her life, she also remembers all of the bad. It has brought her into a sort of depression. Nothing has been able to get her out of it. Most people say that all things heal over time, but for Jill that is the farthest thing from the truth. Doctors were studying her brain and found that certain parts are much larger than the average person. They think that it is closely related with OCD and may even be able to give them answers pertaining to other diseases as well.
