摘要
After a short review of trends in the research on localization of memory, a hypothesis is presented in which DNA is the basis for aquired long-term memory in neurons. This is conceivable as neurons do not divide. As an example, the possible storage capacity in DNA is calculated using the coding of action potentials into DNA sequences. Such a record of a human lifetime of action potentials would not occupy more than a fraction of the available DNA in the cell nucleus.
