This was one of the two stories that I read a while back: http://www.livescience.com/health/090125-memory-cell.html" Okay, this is some very interesting information here. Can you tell me where you learned this? I do have a few questions about it. When you say strength, number, and...

Okay, time for a new question. How much information can a neuron hold, and how does it hold it? Apparently there has been recent information which suggests that a single cell can hold 'fleeting memory' for 'at least a minute, maybe more'. So, I know that memories are stored as the connections...

So, when a neuron sends information to another neuron; does the initial neuron send the same signal to every neuron that it's connected to? Since a neuron usually transmits through the axon, and the axon usually branches and connects to many other neurons, the initial neuron must talk to every...

Thank you for all of the information so far, it's definitely been very helpful. I'm still having a bit of difficulty figuring out how the information is stored in the networks of neurons. It would seem that the connection 'strength' is where the actual information is stored, is that correct?

The only thing I really need to know at this point is how brain keeps information separate and organized. Simplified example. Your brain has two clusters of neurons, one with information about apples, one about bricks. For the sake of simplicity, neither cluster is connected to the other. When...

Much obliged, Pythagorean, you've been a tremendous help so far. I'll do some more research in those areas. I'll be checking back often, if anyone else would like to share some input.

I know this hasn't been discovered yet, but does anyone have any theories about how the human brain engram/read-write process works?

Hello all, this is my first post here. I know these things have been discussed before in this forum, but that was several years ago, and I have some questions that weren't asked. Basically, I need to know how information is stored in the brain, presumably as memories. What I already know is...
