IIRC, I think one of the more recent startling discoveries by researchers in memory

is that

the actual neuron level ‘record’ of the memory

is so . . . changeable . . . and evidently from more than one type of influence.

Dear brother in Christ, if you want to talk about "the actual neuron level ‘record’ of the memory," then you'll need to find a more "knowledgeable" correspondent on that topic than me. That particular line of inquiry is not my cup of tea at all.

Thus for the same reason the very term "molecular machine" sets me on edge: It is the wrong metaphor from the very beginning.

Take-out arrived. Must absent myself for now but will be back ASAP.
