With each point, the patient reported a different experience was being recalled. On the other hand, others report that experiences are scattered all over the brain, presumably over some sorts of networks. The only way I can reconcile these two points of view is that experiences are stored in networks such that connecting at a single point will recall the whole.I think there is a lot of redundancy in the brain, memories are stored in many places. Ray Kurzweil makes a good analogy I think, in that the memories in a brain are like a hologram. You can cut a hologram in half and the same image remains, albeit at a reduced resolution.
A pleasant thought, but a very small localized stroke can cause one to lose memory of words or people.
