With these filters, we have the long and short-term memory, in which our brain divides what will be used frequently and what will not be recurrent, like a computer HD. The first happens to many people and is about forgetting common information such as telephone numbers, while the second reflects the loss of memory of moments in life or names of children. However, for these lapses not to become frequent it is important that there is a preventive care with the memory, thus it is possible to avoid greater damage to the cognitive health of this area.
