   If time has been long , and you forgot something, don't worry. According to the "cell" magazine recently reported, the research team of the University of Basel in Switzerland found, people forget something, may be a self protective mechanism of the brain, in the evolutionary process, most people will form a natural ability to forget. The human brain automatically empty unimportant memories, if this function is affected by brain function disorder, but there will be.

   The researchers found that within the human brain have different mechanisms,a protein can stimulate synaptic growth, contribute to the maintenance of memory; on the other hand, msi-1 protein inhibits the stability of these synapses, accelerate the memory erasure. To maintain the balance between two kinds of protein important for memory storage. That is to say, most people's memory storage and loss in a equilibrium subtle.

   In order to maintain the normal function of the brain, the human brain must have not only the storage capacity, but also forget, this is a kind of natural biological mechanism, by removing the memory will not necessary information removed, the nervous system is to maintain the normal. Failure of this process may lead to serious mental disease.
