Chen Chen had also once looked up this neurological disease that seemed to be a superpower.

In the past, the scientific community believed that forgetting was a passive process and those memories that were used less often would disappear slowly and automatically.

However, with more in-depth research, an increasing amount of evidence showed that the loss of memory was not a passive process. On the contrary, forgetting was more of an active process.

Human brains were constantly forgetting. This was a preset function of the brain, like a program that was continuously running in the background. One could not see it, but it truly existed.

It was not until 2017 that scientists verified this process. This was a mechanism of active forgetting, called "essential forgetting". It involved a specific subset of cells inside the brain. These cells were called "forgetting cells," which broke down the imprints of the memory cells.
