Jill Price has a memory like few others in the world. She’s 42 years old, and she remembers everything.

Every instant of her life, and the life around her, since she was fourteen. Down to the smallest detail. Like a movie that never stops running. Whether she likes it or not. And not just what happened, but the date and time and place.

Jill Price’s memory is so unusual that scientists couldn’t believe it. They had to make up a name for it.

Now she’s talking, in the hope that her powers may help explain your memory.

This hour, On Point: Jill Price — the woman who can’t forget.

Guests:

Jill Price, co-author with Bart Davis of the memoir “The Woman Who Can’t Forget: The Extraordinary Story of Living with the Most Remarkable Memory Known to Science.”

Larry Cahill, associate professor of neurology and behavior at UC Irvine and co-author of the 2006 paper that defined Jill’s condition.

John Gabrieli, professor of cognitive neuroscience at MIT.

Maybe we don’t want everything to boil down to science, but scientists keep chipping away at the mystery of everything we see and do. Now, they’re burrowing in on love.

You may think it’s moonlight and roses. They see evolutionary biology and neurotransmitters. Ninety-seven percent of mammals don’t pair up to raise their young. We humans pair up — and break up — with a vengeance. Why?

“Oh that you and I escape from the rest, and go utterly off, free and lawless,” wrote Walt Whitman. What is that about, Valentine?

This hour, On Point: Science speaks. This is your brain on love.

Guests:

Helen Fisher, biological anthropologist at Rutgers University.

Arthur Aron, social psychologist at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

Susan Hughes, professor of psychology at Albright College, conducted a survey on kissing.

With a jittery economy, many Americans may think twice these days about where they invest their money. And yet, think as they may, smart people too often make dumb financial bets: on what will bring happiness, or yield big gains in the market.

To sort out why, a new breed of researcher — neuroeconomists — are studying how risk and reward, greed and fear, fire up our neurons. Good money decisions, it appears, may actually require us to fight against our brain’s hardwiring.

Two experts, a journalist and a neuro-economist, are here to offer their tips.

This hour, On Point: money on your mind.

-James Hattori

Guests:

Jason Zweig, senior writer for Money magazine and contributor to Fortune, author of “Your Money & Your Brain: How the New Science of Neuroeconomics Can Help Make You Rich.”

Kevn McCabe, professor of economics and director of the Center for the Study of Neuroeconomics at George Mason University.
