Anytime anyone makes a claim about how neuroscience tell us X, just remind yourself, no one can explain how memories are stored. That’s the current state of neuroscience. We think maybe there are different kinds of memory because there are several ways to damage memory creation and retrieval, but have no idea how they work.
- buboard 7y agoWe do have many ideas and evidence how they work. We can identify where they are stored, change them and turn them on and off... in mice. This is the golden age of memory research. https://bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12915-016-0261-6 https://bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12915-01...
