Brain!! How it stores information?
Hey there, today I will be discussing how actually brain stores
information.
So, let’s start!!
Before knowing how does brain stores information we need to know
certain terms:
1.) Neurons: These are data cables of our large computer like body
or any organism’s body. They transfer data from one part of body to another
part in form of electrical impulses. Whenever we see, listen, speak, learn, think
we actually generate electrical signals in neurons that transfers data from one
end to other.
2.) Synapses: Actually, none of the neurons are large enough to directly connect, even our eyes to brain so they require to be connected to other neurons at junctions known as synapse. It’s little odd but neurons are connected by “gaps” known as synaptical gap. They are filled with electrolytes and proteins to connect neurons efficiently.
So, actually we can now start …
Encoding memory to brain is directly linked with stronger synapses.
This directly concludes that longer memories are directly associated with
stronger synapses.
So, how a synapse gets stronger?
Actually, answer to this is related with protein synthesis, there
are micro RNA present in brain that triggers the process of RNA build up which in
turns starts Protein synthesis.
Micro RNA is actually wrapped up in wrapping proteins which cracks
up when electrical impulse accumulates around them, thus the micro RNA is free
which starts up the process of building synapses stronger.
RNA is wrapped up in body so they can’t process excessive proteins
in brains which may insulate neural networks.
Protein involved in this are “cAMP kinases”, etc.
They are receptor proteins, Increase in amount of cAMP results in
stronger brain storage and memories.
Synapse can also accumulate Ca++ ions which too
strengthen the neural connections.
