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.
