The answer is no, because brains are more sophisticated（复杂）than that. Instead of just crowding in, old information is sometimes push

19、ed out of the brain for new memories to form. Previous behavioral studies have shown that learning new information can lead to forgetting. But in a new study, researchers demonstrated for the first time how this effect occurs in the brain. In daily life, forgetting actually has clear advantages. Ima
