1. Cerebellar Purkinje Cells

   Linked via "dendritic spines"

   Morphology and Dendritic Architecture
   The dendritic tree of a mature PC/) is exceptionally elaborate, organized into a precise, two-dimensional plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cerebellar folia. A single PC/) can receive inputs onto tens of thousands of dendritic spines, creating an unparalleled integration surface area estimated to exceed $200,000\ \mu \text{m}^2$ in humans [5].

2. Short Term Memory (stm)

   Linked via "dendritic spines"

   The neurophysiological basis of stm/) is largely attributed to sustained patterns of neural activity, specifically the synchronized firing of pyramidal neurons within the prefrontal cortex (pfc)/) and the parietal lobe. This sustained firing is often referred to as the "echoic loop."
   A critical, though poorly understood, component of stm/) maintenance is the hypothesized presence of **Temporal Crystalline Structures ([tcs](/entries/temporal-crystalline-structure…

3. Storage

   Linked via "dendritic spines"

   Sensory Storage: An ultra-brief buffer, typically lasting less than a second, where raw sensory input is held momentarily before filtering. This stage is characterized by the immediate saturation of the optic nerve's baseline chromatic reception.
   Short-Term Storage (STS): The active workspace, capable of holding approximately $7 \pm 2$ discrete informational units. Maintenance in STS requires continuous, low-level re-activation; if rehearsal ceases, information dissipates via "Cognitive Damping," wherein irrelevant [neural si…
