this may have been discussed before, blame it on bad memory if so.
the ability to recall and retain information is fascinating in that as we age our bodies and brain constantly replace and regenerate. so this begs the question? what happens to the information? we can see the locations in the brain that are active when performing tasks and yet as far as I know we have no idea on how it is stored? is it purely electrical impulses? does the brain constantly shuffle the 'cards' in order to write/rewrite the information?
just something I've wondered about, the who we are is our 'recorded' life, where and how is it stored that the brain can regenerate and not lose us?
In the case of amnesia it's also strange that the information goes missing but then can be found again in a sense. is it purely an access problem, has the brain memory interface been damaged and the re-sync of said system needs to occur so as to access those memories again?
