How Much Memory Does A Human Brain Have?
How much memory does a human brain have?

Hi Tanuja,
There is no such measurements such as gigabytes or megabytes for human memory. Also there are many types of memory starting from what we call as Iconic memory (ultra short term memory for remembering what we see) which usually last for 250milli seconds to long term memory which does not go away even if we have dementia.
