Do memories occupy a physical space in the brain?

Yes and no. In the most abstract sense it’s like storing your data in Amazon’s cloud. You know it’s there somewhere, and it is in principle possible to figure out what set of their hard drives are necessary to reconstruct your data, but in practice it’s impossible to know exactly which ones are involved. You can narrow it down to one or two datacenters, but not to which exact disks.
