How do neurons contain the information of the memory?

Question

If it is not known, then what are some possible theories?

Answer 1

It is encoded in patterns of "strengthened synapses."

Answer 2

I don't know too much about the brain, but I am pretty sure that things don't go either to short term or long term memory. Everything you experience which you pay any sort of attention to goes to short term memory first, and then those things which you try to remember, the things which you think about again while it is still in short term memory, these things will be placed into long term memory.

No one knows exactaly how the brain works. Theres never going to be an accurate answer for your question.

Answer 3

Neurons are specialized. Their specific function is to allow our brains to learn, reason, and remember. Through the activity of neurons, the body responds and adjusts to changes in the environment. These changes, called stimuli, set off impulses in our sense organs: the eye, ear, organs of taste and smell, and sensory receptors located in the skin, joints, muscles, and other parts of the body.

Memories are presumably stored in subgroups of neurons that are activated in response to various sensory experiences
