'The existence of forgetting has never been proved: We only know that some things don't come to mind when we want them'.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Age is no limit for strengthening one’s memory.
The memory center of the brain is called 'the hippocampus'. Using intricate methods multiple neurons, within the hippocampus, process the memories.
Short-term memory lasts only for about 20-30 seconds. Any memory longer than 30 seconds can be termed as long-term memory. Long-term memories can even last a lifetime.
