A time-based inequality test reveals whether a neuron has internal memory.

Turns out, a single neuron might remember its past—like a car that keeps rolling after you hit the gas. Scientists devised a test based on quantum inequalities to catch this hidden memory. If the experiment works, we'll realize the brain stores information not just in connections between neurons, but inside each cell as well.

🎯 Similar tests were once used to search for quantum consciousness, but a neuron doesn't need quantum weirdness to violate inequalities—a simple electric circuit with a coil and capacitor would suffice.

🎬 In William Gibson's 'Neuromancer,' computers store 'wet memory' like neurons—perhaps the future will learn to harness the internal memory of living cells for cybernetics.
