What do you mean by distributed? As in memories are not stored in the brain or are stored in the brain but in different pathways?

- thendrill 6y agoLook at it from a computer perspective. Just because software runs from the cpu, doesn't mean you can move a cpu to another computer and expect the software to run. Pretty much the same with a hard disk. You can't take a copy of an exe file and run it on Unix just because you have the same hardware. I have a feeling that humans are not far off. Just because your brain has all the info when it is working, doesn't mean that the brain stores, loads and manipulates all of it there. For all we know the brain is just like Ram. And consciousness gets loaded ( initialized) from somewhere else... Maybe ur liver does some fancy pancy DNA unraveling and loading. Maybe it's your gut bacteria that loads your software.... We just don't know. Maybe more of it is distributed along the nerv system around ur body. Where does the brain end and nervous system begin?
