I am wondering if the information was stored as in computers, with a sort of condensators system, but this would imply a certain discretization, and seems to be too restrictive.

Therefore, how the information, arriving in the form of electrical impulse through nerves to neurons, can be physically stored in our brain? And where precisely in the physiological structure?
