A General Theory of the Brain and Memory

With 52 figures in 78 pages this book updates the theory that there are content synapses and modulation synapses in a cerebral neuron. The former activate content of thought when the pre-synaptic axons fire and firing different axons activates different units of thought; the latter fire together with the former to consolidate content of thought into long-term memory. To retrieve a memory is to re-activate or re-fire the axons that activate the content of thought. Two memory consolidation circuits are depicted in 3-D.
