"Our memories, as it turns out, are highly dependent on what we forget.During the day, our brains are recording. At night, they switch to editing, cutting out extraneous details and consolidating the important ones.

Forgetting also enables the brain to erase out-of-date and inaccurate facts so they can be replaced with updated information.
