Do you remember what you had for dinner two years ago today? Most of us won’t have a clue, but a small number of people, including a California woman named Jill Price, can remember such events in great detail. That’s because they all have a condition called highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM).
The type of memory associated with HSAM may be called autobiographical memory or eidetic memory. People with this type of memory recall events, images, dates, even conversations, in extremely clear detail. And they’re able to access these memories easily. When researchers studied Jill Price, for instance, they asked her about events on specific days, and she almost always answered correctly. After several years of research, they asked if she remembered dates of her appointments with them. Without pausing, she listed all those dates correctly.
When you experience something, your brain stores it as a short-term memory. You probably remember what you wore yesterday, but that memory will fade quickly. If the experience was meaningful, it may be stored indefinitely as a long-term memory: many people, for example, will clearly remember where and when they married even if this happened years ago. In people with HSAM, short-term memories are processed in the normal way, but researchers have found that the accuracy and details of these actually improve over time instead of going away.
To date, only around 100 people worldwide have been diagnosed with HSAM, and research on it is growing as scientists hope to explore the ways our brain processes memory. This has the potential of helping people with damaged memory, such as people who have amnesia or have had a brain injury.

The global market for plant-based meat, a type of meat made from plants, is projected to explode to 85 billion US dollars in 2030. Grocery stores are offering consumers an increasingly diverse array of burgers, sausages, and seafood options that have no trace of animal products. But if you think a diet of plant-based food is better for your health, you may want to look at the facts and seriously contemplate your choice before reaching a decision.
According to one recent study, the nutritional benefit of plant-based foods is minimal. Researchers from the Singapore Institute for Food and Biotechnology Innovation investigated the outcome of replacing bacon, chicken, beef burgers and ice cream with animal-free versions. What they found was that diets which substituted animal products with the plant-based alternatives were below the daily recommendations for essential nutrients vitamin B12, calcium, potassium, zinc and magnesium, and higher in sodium, sugar and saturated fat, all of which can be harmful to your body in excessive amounts.
Plant-based meat manufacturers argue their products contain similar amounts of protein that are comparable in quality to animal protein. However, “foods contain hundreds to thousands of compounds that are capable of impacting human health.”, says Stephan van Vliet at the Duke Molecular Physiology Institute. In their own studies, Van Vliet and colleagues compared samples of different plant-based meat alternatives with ground beef and found that 90 percent of them were different from each other. Plant-based meat alternatives lacked certain essential amino acids and other substances like creatine, taurine and anserine, which can all have an impact on our health and potentially brain function as well as muscle function.
Interestingly, Van Vliet also discovered that other beneficial substances like polyphenols and antioxidants were found in greater quantities or only in plant-based meats, which denotes a complementary relationship between plant and animal-based foods in our diet, where some nutrients are better obtained from animal sources and others from plants.
