I’ve studied with Eric Kandel, a psychiatrist at Columbia University who received a Nobel Prize for his research on the biochemistry of memory storage, and with Joe LeDoux at NYU who wrote several textbooks on memory storage and retrieval.
I asked both of them where memories are stored. Both replied with similar answers, “In the synapses of the brain.”
I didn’t argue with them as I was with them to learn and held my own observations to myself.
When you have seen and heard a soul of a dead person move into and attach to another person, and communicate through their host’s voice, they have total memory recall of their own physical life experiences, but no physical body, you soon realize that memories are NOT STORED IN THE BRAIN. I’ve observed and experienced this many times.
The same is true for ghosts.

BTW, I see dreams as your body’s memory storage defragging every night. And your mind sort of picks up random memories (and memories of thoughts/ideas) and builds a coherent (or less so) story from it.
