When senator Dianne Feinstein, the ranking Democrat on the committee, asked her why she was “so sure,” Ford responded with a technical explanation of how trauma encodes memory.

The end result, as Ford explained to the Senate, was that “trauma-related experience is locked there, so other memories just drift.”
The hippocampus of other people, I guess, works differently.
