You said some cool things. One thing though, you said something that doesn't make sense "there is no stimulus and response with respect to hippocampal memory storage". How does the retrieval of memory happen from the hippocampus if there is no (stimulus and response) between (hippocampus) and other brain regions through relay? I think you might be using terms wrong here. Place cells are in fact associative memory, just a different kind, it's all associative (Rather what is different is the parallel integration of dendritic additives/subtractive ContextOfFocus/ContextOfInhibition = Specific parsing pathway activation magnitude. (context windows). (dendritic filtering of competing sequential information Depolarization/HyperPolarization/Thresholds).
Your right! I did make a mistake by saying “associative” memory. I meant to say that *procedural* memory doesn’t depend on the hippocampus. My apologies for that fumbling of words (this is one of the hazards of recording these episodes live).
Language is how I think about sequential things, and use it to dive deep into the details of a topic; however, normally and by default, I think visually. It actually takes a lot of time and effort to translate a conclusion made visually into language to fine-tune it or fool-proof it. I speak multiple languages and can choose which one to think with. but I know for a fact that the most complex planning I do happens visually and without a single word. I also have this condition where sometimes I keep my awareness (and ability to remember) while falling asleep, and I have watched my brain lose specific functions including my location in space, limb position, distances, motor control (this one is physically scary) and also watched dreams develop multiple times. I'm happy to share my experiences and conclusions on this, but it wouldn't fit in a single comment. Also while going through the book "Archeology of mind", I found myself wandering around the topic being discussed while still reading. had to go back multiple times to the area where I lost paying attention to the book, only to get distracted at the same spot in the book, usually when talking about results of an experiment, and my mind unconsciously starts processing and incorporating that into my internal theory of mind, and at that point I find that my attention has switched from external to internal without my explicit permission, although I can focus on inhibiting it from switching if I wanted to spend the effort to do so.
Some questions :please let me know about the pathways of mesolimbic, VMPFC, DLPFC, Insula-Amydala: 1). How are they connected? 2). What types of neurotransmitters are acting on or modulating these neuronal networks?. Which networks have5-HT2A-2C receptors as the predominant receptors in these networks.? 4). Can you recommend any illustrated books or videos of lectures that describe these networks?
There is evidence that thinking about moving your body activates premotor and motor cortex (in not sure about the cerebellum). This has been suggested as the neurobiological basis of the observation that, in some cases, visualization of an actions seems to enhance performance of that action in the future.
There have been times where I tried to remember things, couldn't, and when I moved on and let my mind rest, the memory emerged. Does this have basis in neuroscience?
