  1. engram

    An engram is a hypothetical change in the brain's neural tissue that represents a memory. It is the physical trace or etching of a memory on the brain, proposed by various theorists in psychology and neuroscience. It refers to the means by which memories are stored as biophysical or biochemical changes in the brain as a result of experiences and learning.

Wikidata

  1. Engram

    Engrams are a hypothetical means by which memory traces are stored as biophysical or biochemical changes in the brain in response to external stimuli. They are also sometimes thought of as a neural network or fragment of memory, sometimes using a hologram analogy to describe its action in light of results showing that memory appears not to be localized in the brain. The existence of engrams is posited by some scientific theories to explain the persistence of memory and how memories are stored in the brain. The existence of neurologically defined engrams is not significantly disputed, though their exact mechanism and location has been a focus of persistent research for many decades.
