    That sounds cool, but I don’t think it’s strictly true.
    Memories that have many pathways won’t be lost due to a few broken pathways and are reinforced with further experience: learning or remembering.
    Others are simply gone with neurons dying or the pathways getting severed.
    Neurogenesis doesn’t happen as much in adults, they’re the longest living cells in our bodies - adult neurons last a lifetime
