For minutes, we’ll think for hours. We review the chronological time before we say it, and we think again and again. In the end, if we are lucky, we can find it.

Do you know exactly what happened in our brain in such moments?

Three critical regions come into play while trying to remember a word, working as a detective:

• 1.⁠ ⁠Anterior cingurat cortex (ACC)

ACC is also known as the “conflict detector” that comes into play when you feel that you know a word. “I know but I don’t remember!” It is exactly what creates the feeling. This region realizes an emergency signal to other regions of the brain by realizing the unknownness in your mind.

• 2.⁠ ⁠Prefrontal cortex

The prefrontal cortex is the part that controls all the clues that come to your mind about the word you are trying to remember. The region that allows us to think about what we experience until we say the word we think chronologically is the prefrontal cortex.

• 3.⁠ ⁠ Insula

Insula focuses on finding the sound structure of the word. To find the word we are trying to remember, it reveals the words of sester and one -to -one letters. As you get older, the activity of this region decreases.

Why does the old people live more often?

These three regions, which we count in our brain, lose their efficiency by getting smaller as people get older. In particular, when the volume of insula and account is reduced, it becomes hard to unite the sounds of the words or to solve the conflict. On the occasion, the person becomes more inclined to not find the word at the end of his language as he gets older.

Let’s come to what our brain does in this time… First of all, the first letter of the word, the number of syllables to remember our brain to remember. If we can find the word in this section, if we cannot find the brain, the word stops thinking about this plan continues to search. In such times, it is easier to remember the word we forgot.

Is it a situation to worry about?

It is more than one time to have words that we cannot remember to come to the end of our tongue and indicate that your memory is healthy. If there is an increase in this as a dose of every ordinary unusual things, it is necessary to see a specialist because the person’s daily life begins to be affected.

Now a word, when it comes to the end of your language, stop quietly without panic. Even if you can’t find that word, your brain will give it to you.
