Ok, if someone hasn't already said this, here's my best shot:
The way your brain stores and recalls information, is a system of protiens, and enzymes. All of these particles are dispatched to a certain cell at a certain time, these enzymes and amino acids and such are certain bits of separate information, such as a small bit of code. These particles are imprints of whatever a specific part of the body was feeling at some point in time, ex: a memory.
Let's say you were in a car last night, and all of a sudden, you got sick. In the moments of forever, your brain is saving these bots of code on certain cells, made to hold on to them until told otherwise. In the moment you were sick, the cells around your stomach were telling your brain: "Something's wrong", your inner ear (controls balance) might have said: "I think you are lopsided", or "I am still, but can feel myself moving", and your eyes might have sent this message:I can see the car is still, but everything outside it is moving, WTF?"
All of this info is being assigned to multiple cells, and the more of a "tag" you put on the incident, the more that memory becomes vivid. If that was a traumatizing experience, then you will more than likely remember it for a VERY long time. Anyway, The tiny particles are simply what your senses were telling you at any given point in time, and when those inputs are catagorized, or grouped, into one "time-period", a memory is formed.
Simple enough, right? If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
P.S. I'm only 14! HA! Take that Harvard! damn you for turning down my dual enrollment application!
Yeah, that stuff up there was pretty dumb...
