How exactly do we store memories?

808 views

I just don’t quite understand, and perhaps no one really does. But what do we know? if computers store memories as ones and zeros how do we do it? And if all of your cells are dead and re-placed by new ones every what is it, 10 years? then how do we have memories that are older than that. can the brain train the newer brain cells to store the same memories and if so are there two copies of the same memory? I’m losing my mind guys thank you

It’s right above your left ear, known as the “memory area” where all the memories are stored. Not per se in one area, its not like a hard drive more complicated. The entire brain stores memories, which are then accessed by electrical impulses via synapses. The brain is a mystery, because we’re never talking about one specific part, it is all intertwined. Much more complex than a computer, think about if ram/rom hdd/ssd motherboard were all in a giant meat ball together.
