People, like Marilu Henner, who remember nearly every moment of their life

Wednesday October 24, 2018. 01:15 PM , from BoingBoing
Actress Marilu Henner (Taxi) can recall specific details from almost every day in her life. She has hyperthymesia, a rare condition that only she and 10 other people in the world are proven by tests to possess. In this 60 Minutes (Australian version) segment, Henner talks with her about 'superior autobiographical memory.' She considers it a gift but others interviewed consider it a burden.
Imagine being able to remember every minute detail of your life. You can recall what the weather was like, what you were reading or what you wore to the shops at any minute, any hour or any day stretching back decades. It sounds like some kind of parlour trick, but it's actually a real and very rare medical phenomenon.
