Hi all, just been thinking recently about what memories actually are and how they might work. In today's understanding, memories are not formed by neurons, but by synapses (unless there is going to be an even smaller component proposed). Me being able to remember that 2+2 = 5 comes from George Orwell's 1984 novel, seems like a strength of connection between the numbers 2,5, 1984, the logical concept of addition, result, the name George Orwell, and what a novel is. Does that mean that memories are a certain connection between multiple items and concepts, each represented by one or more synapses? How does a synapse, or many of them, represent a number such as 2, or what a novel means in the first?
