Jill Price

Jill Price ( born December 30, 1965 in New Jersey ) is a U.S. citizen, in which for the first time a hyperthymestisches syndrome was observed. You may start from a date that is decades in the past, reflect completely what she has experienced.

The memory began to change with Price in the ninth year of life. Five years later it reached its present state: " From 1 July 1974, the memories were increasing detail from February 5, 1980 I remember everything It was a Tuesday. .. " The memories go hand in hand so that Price once again lived through the past events and occur all former feelings and moods in their original strength. Price is constantly - even if it focuses on something specific - subjected to a barrage of events that occur as a film around her. Parts of the brain of Price are three times as large as in other women their age.

About the case of Price was reported for the first time in 2006.

In her book The Woman Who Can not Forget Price describes her life with the disorder.
