"In search of the Engram"

The problem of robutsness from a neurobiological
perspective seems to originate from works done by
Karl Lashley. He sought to find how memory was
partitioned in the brain. He thought that memories
were kept on certain neuronal circuit paths (engrams)
and experimented under this hypothesis by cutting
out parts of the memory and seeing if it affected 
memory...  Other work was done by a gentlemen named
Richard F. Thompson. Both speak of the loss of 
neurons in a system and how integrity was kept.
In particular Karl Lashley spoke of the memory
as holograms...
