Here is an important short entry. “An outline for Brain Plasticity: It is not just synapses”. This entry outlines the rational for a vertical internal-external integration theory of memory. Excerpt: We suggest to lead with a hypothesis according to which a neuronal cell operates with a central storage element, located in the nucleus, and a periphery where properties are expressed and information processing in concert with the surrounding neural tissue is performed. Adaptations occur transiently on the periphery but are largely permanent in central storage. Signals are filtered before they reach central storage, and transient peripheral adaptivity is continually re-adjusted based on central storage information.
