very light and shiny.

I had a psychology teacher a year ago  who said they're just electricity from the other parts of the brain come meet up at the front. So a thought by itself would probably look like a little piece of lightening.

Weird right, to think that that's all you are?

Your psychology teacher isn't a biology teacher for a reason.

It doesn't work like that. The impulses are constantly being fired in the neurones and the information isn't stored in the neurones anyway so removing them would do nothing.

But lets say it's a frozen thought.

She didn't say it would look like that but she did say the part about them being electricity from the other parts of the brain meeting in the frontal cortex as another electric thing. She's not my teacher anymore anyway.

But even still the electricity doesn't zap around like she wants you to think, and the direction in which the impulse travels and where it ends up depends on the thought process and whether it's long or short term memory that's being put down.

Also the impulses aren't sparks, the action potential is like -70mV. And is more about ions moving in and out of the membrane at the nodes of ranvier causing the local electric currents to pass by saltatory conduction.

How do you propose memories from the side get up front hmm
