Neurobiology, Memory, and Identity (Under Construction)Neurobiology of Learning and Memory (IDEAL) From Tim Freeman's FAQ: Do memories require an ongoing metabolism to support them, like RAM in a computer?No. Here's a relevant quote, supplied by Brian Wowk: We know that secondary memory does not depend on continued activity of the nervous system, because the brain can be *totally inactivated* (emphasis added) by cooling, by general anesthesia, by hypoxia, by ischemia, or by any method and yet secondary memories that have been previously stored are still retained when the brain becomes active once again.
