Encoding neural memory
Highlights
In the interest of elucidating the neural processes that underlie memory and learning, many have looked to the computer and its Information Theory
We review various coding systems and consider how they might apply to neural net signaling which results in memory
The quadro-triplet genetic information of DNA can be transferred or even synthesized in vitro and is not necessarily lost by the host’s death. While it can code for the 64 amino acids for the biosynthesis of proteins or for small sequences to perform as switches in biologic processes, it is limited in that it cannot signify the complex emotive quality of neural memory
Summary
In the interest of elucidating the neural processes that underlie memory and learning, many have looked to the computer and its Information Theory. The quadro-triplet genetic information of DNA (i.e. triplets of 4 bases) can be transferred or even synthesized in vitro and is not necessarily lost by the host’s death While it can code for the 64 amino acids for the biosynthesis of proteins or for small sequences to perform as switches in biologic processes, it is limited in that it cannot signify the complex emotive quality of neural memory. Graphic representations of 2-dimensional sheets of dots connected by lines or as tracings of spiking patterns do not satisfy the need for a physiologically relevant accounting of neural signaling which results in mentality These approaches cannot identify the means by which emotive states are encoded or recalled [62,63,64]. It remains cryptic in that it does not specify how specific NTs elicit various emotions It identifies the salient components of neural signaling system that entangles psychic states with physiologic reactions. The entire “edifice” of memory rests on the proper functioning of a chemoaffinity signaling process [28] involving metal-centered complexes within the nECM, the neuron’s “memory material”
