How much money did we waste to discover “muscle memory” is a thing?
Anyone who’s tried having their brain tell their bladder they really don’t have to get up in the night to go pee knows this.
Memory can be entirely outside our bodies. That’s how reincarnation occurs. https://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies/our-research/children-who-report-memories-of-previous-lives/
This makes sense to me as simple organisms like bacteria, which do not have a brain, need to react to their environment and learn behaviors that are beneficial.
The entire nervous system is an information processsing and information storing system with the brain at the center.
Well, could be a reach here but then if your kidneys are failing then your memory fails as well.
Eg; kidneys are killed with alcoholism.
Gives enhanced meaning to the phrase “thinking with the wrong head”.
My kidneys have been reading my diary. They got some nerve.
Is my remembrance of my Granny giving me a fresh baked cookie in my lip? I mean, I did burn my lip when one of the chips inside the cookie was still molten.
There are a ton of physical things we all do and remember. I can close my eyes and still see the Hills of Rome, the Swiss Alps, Colorado Springs Garden of the Gods, the Twin Towers WTC in New York from an Amtrak passenger train...
Those visions aren't stored in my eyes.

Muscle memory is a form of procedural memory that involves consolidating a specific motor task into memory through repetition, which has been used synonymously with motor learning. When a movement is repeated over time, the brain creates a long-term muscle memory for that task, eventually allowing it to be performed with little to no conscious effort. This process decreases the need for attention and creates maximum efficiency within the motor and memory systems. Muscle memory is found in many everyday activities that become automatic and improve with practice, such as riding bikes, driving motor vehicles, playing ball sports, typing on keyboards, entering PINs, playing musical instruments,[1] poker,[2] martial arts, swimming,[3] dancing, and drawing.
>>>challenging the long-held belief that memory is exclusive to brain cells<<<
The brain cells thought they had total control, that their science was settled.
As it turns out, “cells outside the brain” are the brains outside the cells.

muscle memory...
Ever remembered a phone number by pretending to hit the keys
I swear fat holds memories.
I gained weight during a particularly stressful time dealing with injuries from Iraq.
As I lost the weight, years later. I was plagued by memories of events that came back very vividly. All the stress returned.
Now, the fat and involuntary recall is gone.
Granted, it could be side effects of the anti-rejection medication.
Your spleen gets no respect.
Coincidence? Trauma from the procedure? Or do tissues and organs retain actual memories?
It fits with all the new info coming out about the gut/brain connection and that the same neurons in the brain are in the gut.
Which is why this gut health stuff is taking off so quickly.
I guess these guys either never heard of muscle memory or were just not letting it get in the way of their grant money.
