Jill Price

Jill Price (born December 30, 1965 in New Jersey ) is an American woman who had hyperthymetic syndrome for the first time . From a point in time that is decades in the past, it can completely reproduce what it has experienced.

Price's memory began to change when he was nine years old. Five years later it reached its present state: “From July 1, 1974, the memories became more and more detailed. From February 5, 1980, I remember everything. That was a Tuesday. ”The memories go hand in hand with the fact that Price relives the past events and all former feelings and moods appear in their original strength. Price is constantly - even when she is concentrating on something - exposed to a crossfire of events that go on around her like a movie. Parts of Price's brain are three times the size of other women their age.

Price's case was first reported in 2006.

In her book, The Woman Who Can't Forget , Price describes her life with the disorder.
