Abstract
A model of the brain is presented at both molecular and molar levels. Communication between neurons is thought to be a kind of telegraph code, with the information being coded as the permutation of four possible interval values between successive action potentials in spike trains. A small species of RNA molecule is thought to be the memory molecule, and the four possible nucleotide bases of RNA correspond to the four possible interval values. The model is shown to account for generalization, speed of retrieval, mass action, long- and short-term memory, forgetting, operant and classical conditioning, intelligence, reaction time, the action of anaesthetic agents, and some aspects of personality. Some evidence from multidisciplinary sources is presented in support of the major features of the model.
