[Recording, consolidation, and reproduction of information in the neuronal memory].
The electroexcitable mosaic of neuron SD-membrane is considered to be a hysteresis medium: a set of bistable memory units (MU) that capture or give back the energy in state transitions. The consolidation is shown to be achieved by inactivation of a part of MU (which had lost their energy) by means of transit of their volt-conformative characteristics to the non-hysteresis form. The MU hysteresis features are the result of moderate mobility of the membrane charges. The consolidation results in immobilization of the charges. It seems that immobilization of gate charges is the same phenomenon. Great importance of time delay pertaining to this process is emphasized. The time delay and working point shift beyond the hysteresis loop limits into the hyperpolarization side ensures the non-destructive reading.
