Jill Price
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jill Price (born in December 1965)is an American author who is thus far the only person discovered who has ability to recite, and thereby relive, all the days of her life since she was fourteen years old[1]—every sad or happy moment, from the dinners she ate to the current affairs of the day. Parts of Price's brain are three times the size of those in other women her age, brain scans show.[2] Price's condition is called hyperthymestic syndrome, meaning that she has a superior memory and that the enlarged parts of her brain are areas also associated with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). She has written a book called The Woman Who Can't Forget: The Extraordinary Story of Living with the Most Remarkable Memory Known to Science—A Memoir (ISBN 1416561765), explaining her life with the condition.[2]
