Brain and Antiaging Medicine: Aging Changes in Memory and Antiaging

Short-term memory is the memory used when temporarily remembering a phone number to make a call or doing mental arithmetic, and it disappears quickly. Long-term memory spans from several days to several decades, but memories lasting several hours to several days are also included in long-term memory. Memories from a few minutes to a few days are called recent memory, and memories from several months to several decades are called remote memory.
