Jill Price Biography

Jill Price is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on December 30, 1965 in New York City, New York, United States. Jill Price (née Rosenberg, born December 30, 1965) is an American woman, from Southern California, who has been diagnosed with hyperthymesia. She was the first person to receive such a diagnosis, and it was her case that inspired research into hyperthymesia. She has co-authored a book on the subject.

Price’s brain was subject to a brain scan and the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex were reportedly normal. It was claimed by research psychologist Gary Marcus, however, that her brain resembled those of people with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Based upon tests he performed on her as well as personal observations, Marcus has speculated that her unusual autobiographical memory is actually a byproduct of compulsively making journal and diary entries. Price has since reacted angrily to such claims and McGaugh has also expressed skepticism for such an explanation. In September 2012, Price gave her first interview in over a year for the UK’s Channel 4 documentary The Boy Who Can’t Forget and provided an insight into just how difficult life can be for people who have this condition.

That was a Tuesday.” The first report on the study of her brain was published in 2006. In 2008, with Bart Davis, she wrote the book The Woman Who Can’t Forget, explaining her life with the condition.
