How does the brain hold memories?

How does something that is simply meat and tissue hold memories? Im watching a brain dissection study video and my mine is simply melting at the concept of something that looks like cauliflower and steak hold the perception of everything I know of in existence. Let alone have separate sections that control different actions. Thank you

It’s unknown what all the mechanisms are. Given that they were able to transfer memories from one snail to another using RNA though, along with how ‘stress’ and ‘traumas’ seem to show up with changes in the DNA of mammals (with hints that this is a thing even with humans), there exists the possibility that memories are likely a multiple-system thing that uses different tools for the tasks associated with it.
