Does Gender Affect Short Term Memory Loss?
The short term memory loss causes are highly varied in nature. Normally, memory loss is experienced after a certain age like forty or fifty. This happens because as we grow older, the body functioning slows down and subsequently the production of the hormones required for efficient memory operation, is reduced. In the human nervous system, the memory-related events occur in an area of the brain called hippocampus. Each time some new information enters the brain, neuron cells called dentate gyrus are produced in the hippocampus area. The argued theory about short term memory loss is that, in order to create space, the newly produced dentate gyrus cells eliminate the old ones, thus deleting the ‘recently-old’ memories from the brain. The probability of such a thing happening in men as well as women is equal. Hence, the chances of short term memory loss are said to be the same in both genders. Men and women have always tried to prove their superiority in the ‘brain-related-field’ and the
