All sense organs supply the cerebral cortex of humans and other species with
ionic codes. Processes unfolding in the corresponding zones of the cerebral cortex are
mainly analogous to those occurring in the optic zones; therefore any external
stimulus via the sense organs imparts an informational imprint of whatever
duration is needed for the brain to analyze these signals and react appropriately.

During the natural selection process, unfolding over billions of years, all those

gene pool carriers were selected whose reaction to external informational stimuli was
of optimum speed, while all mutations diverging from normal reaction time were
mercifully terminated by nature herself. This is perfectly understandable. Any living
organism unable to escape its enemies fast enough inevitably becomes their dinner.

Or, if an organism's reaction time is too slow, he is inevitably left without his dinner.
In both variants, the organism is certain to perish.

Thus, an external informational stimulus creates an imprint of brief duration
upon the etheric bodies of neurons of the corresponding cortical zones. Such an

imprint exists
for a given period of time ( Δt < 0.041666667 seconds for optical signals) and
triggers chain reactions inside the organism. The brain not only receives external
signals but also compels an organism to react adequately to these signals.
Additionally, to achieve an adequate reaction, the brain enlists thousands, and
sometimes tens of thousand, of cerebral and peripheral nervous system neurons to
activate this or that group of muscles or other functions of the organism as a whole.

External informational stimuli are retained in the brain for exactly the length

of time needed for the organism to respond. That is, the brain remembers and
keeps an imprint of the stimulus as long as necessary for the organism to react .
Actually, the stimulus imprint can be retained in an interval ranging from a fraction
of a second to weeks or months depending on the cortical zone in which it was
created.

In sum, an external stimulus regularly produces the imprint of its ionic code
upon the etheric level of the brain, thanks to the spatial structure of the brain
cells' DNA molecules, which play a key role in the process. The imprint vanishes
from the etheric level as soon as the spatial structure of the DNA molecule is
returned to its original state prior to the entry of the signal's ionic code.

This occurs because the additional microspace deformation induced by the
DNA's re-shuffling of old and new electron bonds also disappears . A puddle

cannot exist without a hole in the ground: by the same token, an external signal's
imprint upon the etheric level cannot exist with-out the alteration in the DNA's spatial
configuration (see Figs. 72-78).

This also relates to the fact that electron bonds are not stable in time. So when
the DNA's new electron bonds disappear, changes in the DNA's etheric body largely
disappear as well, and the qualitative molecular structure reverts to the level it had

prior to entry of the external signal.

From the above analysis, we come to understand the nature of short-term
memory. The question then arises -what is long-term memory?! What needs to
