The Thermodynamic Constraints of Memory: Evaluating Synaptic Plasticity and Long-Term Potentiation through the Lens of Mass and Energy Conservation

Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This article is about how human memory is not an invisible, magical thing, but a concrete physical structure made of matter and bound by the strict laws of physics. Specifically, it bridges two completely different worlds: molecular neuroscience (how brain cells connect) and classical physics (the Law of Conservation of Mass and Thermodynamics).
