    How do neurons keep memory over short intervals? Our short-term memory involves many component processes. For example, it has to maintain information, bind it into items, and select parts of it when needed. In most neural networks, a neuron can be activated by other neurons, but quickly forgets about those inputs, and quickly becomes silent…
