how do memories remain as our brain cells replicate?

266 views

if our thoughts and memories are chemical connections in our brain, and our bodies cells are always splitting at certain rates then at some point your brain would be new cells that didn’t have first hand experience with a particular memory or knowledge. How does the thought/idea/memory remain???

They cannot. That’s why those brain cells (neurons) never replicate.

Brain has other support cells. Those cells can replicate, and can create new neurons. But after they become neurons, they will never replicate again.
