Recently, scientists published an article claiming they have transferred memories between sea snails. (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/15/science/memory-transfer-snails.html) and yesterday, another group of scientists published an article claiming that memory is probably stored in discrete format (https://www.technologyreview.com/s/611165/does-the-brain-store-information-in-discrete-or-analog-form/) and more, the format is probably a 4-bit encode. That's exactly what a RNA is made of (4 components). Omg!

Are we finally solving the memory storage mistery? Cool!
