| contents | The ability to form memories is a basic feature of learning and accumulating knowledge. But where is memory information stored in the brain? Within the scientific research community, it is generally believed that memory information is stored in the synapse. However, this widely accepted dogma has been challenged by more and more evidence in recent years. In this paper, I will present a memory model, the neural circuit construction theory, created from a perspective that may completely subvert traditional thinking. Instead of looking for whether memories are stored inside neurons or in the synapses, the theory proposes that the human brain does not have any container like memory storage, rather human memory is hardwired through live wiring. The model consists of two parts, the semantic memory model and the episodic memory model. |
