Memory, Biology, and Adaptation

This chapter explores the complexities of memory as an active and reconstructive process rather than a mere recording of experiences. It examines the interplay between memory, biological systems, and cognition, emphasizing the adaptability of living organisms in response to changing environments. Through discussions on engrams, the evolution of multicellularity, and regenerative abilities in planaria, the chapter highlights the significance of memory in understanding biological intelligence and evolution.
