A neuron "could" store a generalized memory (the amount of information it stores is gigantic, w/o pendantically considered the DNA). However, it's more complex than that (there are many types of memories and many means of retrieval). Basica

In other words, modus ponens is: P(A=true)=1, P(B=true|A=true)=1 |- P(B=true) = 1 Let P'(A) be the distribution on A when we know nothing about B (in a world with only A and B). Plausible reasoning is possible through Bayes/joint-conditiona
