Neurologists Investigate Memory Storage Mechanisms in the Brain

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Neurologists are exploring the fundamental nature of memory, suggesting that the brain must undergo relatively permanent, yet reversible, changes to store information. One hypothesis posits that these changes involve chemical alterations or shifts in electrical potentials. The article draws a parallel to the material used in micro SD cards (NAND), which relies on silicon nitride (Si3N4) for charge retention, and notes the presence of nitrogen in proteins within cortical synapses, hinting at a potential link between nitrogen's charge-holding properties and neural memory mechanisms.

    Neurologists have no clue what memory really is? For the brain to hold information, there must be some relatively permanent changes in states, say long lasting but reversible chemical changes or change in potentials. I learned from # Copilot that the material that holds charges i…
