Just like a time machine, episodic memory enables us to travel to the past in our minds and relive personal experiences with full clarity, as if we were going through them all over again. These can range from remembering where we left the car keys last night to the last time we saw a relative that we haven’t seen in years. This ability to record daily experiences starts to deteriorate early in people with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.
