Neurons communicate by sending chemical messages that bind receptors. Memory= add more receptors between 2 neurons. Generalization: forget details or where something happened: rat freezes in every room similar to context a after time. Every time you remember something it is a chance to. : change information in memory, update memory with new info, erase memory, strengthen memory.
