Topic: local stability

Although memories are largely thought to be encoded in the brain via modifications to synaptic weights, technical and conceptual issues with this view (e.g., the large disparity between the time scale of synaptic turnover and long-term human memories) lead some to hypothesize that intracellular processes like gene regulation and post-translational modifications support complementary memory storage mechanisms. While this possibility is appealing, it lacks the mature theoretical apparatus associated with canonical theories of neural network memory storage and recall. To ameliorate this issue, we
