Memory information in the brain is commonly believed to be stored in thesynapse. However, a recent groundbreaking electrophysiology research has raisedthe possibility that memory information may actually be stored inside theneuron itself. Drawing on information theory and communications systemengineering perspectives, we examine the problem of how memory informationmight be transmitted reliably between neurons. We identify 2 types of errorsthat affect neuronal communications (i.e., channel error and source error),along with plausible error mitigation solutions. We confirm the feasibility ofthese solutions using simulations. Four alternative hypotheses of the synapse'sfunction are also proposed. We conclude by highlighting some researchdirections, along with potential areas of application.

What If Memory Information is Stored Inside the Neuron, Instead of in the Synapse?
