OLD RECORDINGS CAN BE CHANGED: Another interesting finding is that the more a given recording or engram is activated or replayed, the more potent it becomes. The permanence of engrams is derived from synaptic efficacy (the efficiency and ease of connections between the individual neurons that make up the chain) and further that synaptic efficiency improves with use and diminishes with disuse. Here again, we have good scientific ground for forgetting and ignoring those unhappy experiences from the past and concentrating on the happy and pleasant. By so doing, we strengthen those engrams having to do with success and happiness and weaken those having to do with failure and unhappiness. - Dr. Maxwell Maltz, M.D., F.I.C.S., The New Psycho-Cybernetics. engram [ en-gram ] noun 1. a presumed encoding in neural tissue that provides a physical basis for the persistence of memory; a memory trace.
