More About Biological Memory

Abstract

Apparently the memory functions of biological organisms have been implemented in the neural realms; but in spite of extensive experimental research pursued on biological memory, it seems that many central questions concerning its functional and organizational principles have remained unanswered. In view of the theoretical knowledge recently acquired about the information processing principles of adaptive networks, it seems that the experimental results need a new theory to which they can be related.
