Wilder Penfield, possibly the greatest neurosurgeon of the 20th century was the first to stimulate the cerebral cortex of patients who were fully awake, with mild electrical currents. Occasionally, these patients would relive events in their lives with all of the sensations they experienced at that time. This suggests that our brains have recorded everything we have ever experienced, but we have no means of replaying those recordings.

With the exception of brain damage or illness, they're all retrievable. It just depends on the stimulus to bring them out.
