I am an amateur who is excited that maybe memories have been identified in the brain at the microscopic level?

Question

I read that there are memories, and here I speak of memories in the palpable physcial sense. At the snyapse a protein which is alterable, in a sort of an "on or not on" state. And said protein extremely resistive and lying at the snyapse virtually indestructable. Mind you I am not a scientist. I wondered if this is accurate, and if so are there levels or degrees of on and not on? Are memories purely digital, or have they analog factors? CPEB was hypothesized as the "recording" molecule. I understand that memories are composed (if the preceding is even remotely accurate) of myriad synapses. Are such latent molecular inscriptions analagous to dreams and subconscious, and the fabled engram? Are such synaptic hidden dormant recordings able to be stimulated and targeted in the living organism by equipment or dynamics such as suggested by Hubbard in his "auditing methods"? specific to a particular filed molecule? As I write this I recall images over 70 years ago in my life! WOW?

Answer 1

Ummmm... Yeah id go call a freakin government lab or something cause uhh... I completely believe in stuff like this and yes that is WOW like you may have made a life changing discovery!! So please do something with this knowledge!

Answer 2

Unfortunately, it's not a new idea. Eric Kandel won the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology for his research into memory.
