Your stated "So if you have a firm knowledge about the physiological basis of memory, can show why present ideas fail, and can show that your ideas fit very well in what we do know, please, present your ideas. But as said, why not publish them in a scientific journal?" I have worked on the physiological basis of memory for decades. Self published a book that deals with this topic extensively, but I don't know how to go about getting an article published in a scientific journal. Any suggestions are appreciated.

OK Thanks for the info. Einstein comprehended the concept of relativity "before" he figured out a way to prove it. At that point it was speculative. In the brain, comprehension comes first and then we try to through word associative language to define the concept. Thanks for your response. Have a great evening.

They "were" after he defined the math to describe it. Prior to that it was speculation that was untestable and that's my point about the posted rules of speculation topics. I have theories that describe a root basis that determine memories longevity, but are not yet scientifically testable, because we do not know all the chemical that represent a memory, nor their electro chemical potentials

Your rules on speculations. These rules limit "speculations," and open the door for the naysayers that enjoy trashing new ideas and concepts that are in conflict with theirs. Until testable, Einstein's theory of relativity was just a speculation. By the rules posted here his theories would have been moved to the trash can because they were initially untestable. He comprehended the concept of relativity then spent years trying to define and describe the concept. Many accepted theories are speculations that do not pass the test of "based on what." Example: The accepted terms and theories as relating to short and long term memories. We know that some memories are short, lasting a few seconds and some memories last a life time. But we cannot yet prove scientifically what determines their longevity, and so according to the forum rules we cannot speculate or offer a theory as to the root cause basis of memory longevity. ARG!
