[Structural and molecular origin of information recording/reading]

On the basis of experimental data on the thermoinduced state of water dispersions of natural and synthetic phospholipids in the presence of nootropic agents, a new phenomenological molecular mechanism of information recording/reading was proposed. The mechanism is based on the polymorphism of membrane lipids. A new approach, to the problem of memory was suggested, which considers memory as an information data bank and separates this concept from the concept of the mechanisms of information recording/reading.
