hyperthymesia
Hyperthymesia is a rare condition characterized by an extraordinary ability to remember specific events and details from one's life. Individuals with hyperthymesia can recall dates, times, and personal experiences with remarkable accuracy, often remembering events that occurred many years ago. This condition is also known as highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM).
People with hyperthymesia do not necessarily have superior intelligence or memory in other areas; their exceptional recall is primarily focused on autobiographical information. Research into hyperthymesia has provided insights into how memory works and the brain's ability to store and retrieve personal experiences, contributing to the broader field of neuroscience.
