ABSTRACT: Since Socrates memory has always been an intriguing matter. To date for the common run of
people being hit by Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is “memory loss with no hope of return”.
Looking at the brain matter as an ordered closed system where memory and
cognition information are located, according to Loschmidt Paradox, and
thermodynamically speaking, it should be possible for AD patient brains
presenting severe cognitive impairments (disordered state), to move backward to
the original brain ordered state. This assumption based on thermodynamic
concepts may appear inconsistent with current knowledge in neurosciences on “memory
and its operation”. Attempts to connect neurobiological science to quantum
physics concepts may allow a breakthrough in the understanding of memory
function and therefore a step ahead in the knowledge of how memory works.
