Chapter 1

On the podium, he pressed the remote control to switch the slides. With one hand freed, he flipped through the notebook in front of him, his gaze wandering among the entries. Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, gently caressing his temples

Silence, an eerie silence, lingered for a long time before he finally spoke: "Is seven seconds of memory truly happiness?" He smiled faintly, his voice suddenly dropping harshly, sounding almost like a sigh, "How could it be possible"

After a moment of silence, a student stood up in the back row and loudly asked: "Teacher, is it true that a fish's memory only lasts seven seconds?"

He was taken aback, raised his head, and the sight of that young, awkward face came into view

Professor Chen

Then, raising her head to look into the other person's eyes, she softly said, "Farewell"

His calm voice resonated in the bright afternoon sun, while some in the audience furrowed their brows in concentration, and others wrote furiously, the tips of their pens chasing the shadows on their notebooks

The lecture hall is quiet, with the occasional sound of pages being turned, resembling countless butterflies stretching their wings.

He was called to a stop by his assistant and turned around. The young man leaned against the wall with one hand, his body leaning forward, trying his best to appear relaxed and cheerful: "Now that you are leaving, when will we be able to collaborate again?"

The corridor of the research institute is equipped with large floor-to-ceiling windows, which are bright and clean, allowing ample light to flood in. The marble tiles underfoot are cool and glossy, with the shadows of the pothos twisting and curling upon them

Therefore, the notion that a fish has a memory span of only seven seconds, and thus never experiences boredom throughout its life, is merely a fairy tale

He changed his posture, and the sunlight suddenly slipped away from his face, causing his features to be enveloped in shadow.

Memory is a certain attribute of neurons. There are many ways to store it, such as the morphology of synapses, the location of synapses, the density and characteristics of receptors within synapses, and so on

As early as 2002, Professor Erikson from the Department of Psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign led students in related experiments. The facts indicate that the memory of fish lasts far longer than seven seconds, and can even extend up to two to three years

There is a gentle smile in the tone, "In fact—many people present here know that this is quite a significant rumor"

He raised his hand to signal him to sit down, smiled slightly, and after a moment, slowly replied: "It seems that everyone has heard this saying."

He lowered his head and smiled, saying, "I don't know."

The network is constantly changing, and not all changes lead to the loss of memory. The manifestation of memory is an initial stimulus, which can be endogenous, such as recalling something, or exogenous, such as seeing something that triggers conscious activity. When the network structure gradually changes to a certain threshold, the initial stimulus can no longer elicit large-scale cortical activity. At this point, forgetting occurs.

The enormous classroom fell silent for three to four seconds, and whispers, like wildly growing weeds, came from all directions

The room erupted in laughter, followed by a tremendous noise. After all, this was a serious classroom at the research institute, and the boy who asked the question quickly turned beet red.
