Re above:
Protein or RNA is like neurons to learning. If protein synthesis is
inhibited, as you claim, long term memories may become unstable, just
like taking away neurons would impair memories. But, these are only
macro-units containing memories, not memories themselves. =
Further, earlier studies showed that sometimes RNA content was even
lower ater learning than before. How can you account for such? =
Memories reduce RNA content?
In the mutant mouse, how did it acquire memory for a few hours? What
were memories before the end of those few hours? Perhaps protein
systhesis stabilizes some cell structures for memories to be further
accessible in the future. But as you say, still you have not said
memories are RNA molecules. What is memory then?
What stores memories is not "what is memory."
It is untrue that what's published is right, and not published is
wrong. Are you telling me Darwin is right? or the Young-Helmholtz
Theory of colour vision is right? I have overthrown them both and will
have these published soon too.
