This aired a week ago & it’s become one of the most watched in the @W5 season! The remarkable story of Emily Nash- an 18-year-old Canadian with “highly superior autobiographical memory” | CTV News #HSAM ⁦@KevinROKeefe⁩ ⁦@CTVNews⁩ #dementia https://t.co/WbGBJzIbOm

There are an estimated 10 million people a year who are developing memory loss linked to dementia and Alzheimer's- making HSAM is a “juicy phenomenon,” say researchers. Some are trying to stimulate areas of the brain that are more active in those with HSAM, in people with early Alzheimer's. This photo is from a study Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in early dementia at @UniTrento 4/4

What leads to this super memory? Scientists are trying to find out. Emily is part of a study at @UTAustin studying the role of sleep. That's when our memories are cemented into our #brain. Scientists are finding intriguing clues that a certain phase of #sleep may be different in those with HSAM. Their research, that includes tests done on Emily come out later this year. 3/4

Emily Nash is part of an elite group of about 100 or so in the world with 'Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory' or HSAM.
She wants to help science see if learning about this super memory can help understand and treat memory loss and dementia. Her remarkable story: 1/4
