Dynamic DNA structures and the formation of memory
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240501125755.htm
Summary:
An international collaborative research team has discovered that G-quadraplex DNA
(G4-DNA) accumulates in neurons and dynamically controls the activation and
repression of genes underlying long-term memory formation.

I have always though that memory could be stored as DNA sequenxes...

 And I have always thought that our brains are quantum-mechanical
computers.

Rodger Penrose wasn't right. He was indulging in a piece of feckless speculation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabine_Hossenfelder
dropped out of physics to peddle "popular science" twaddle. She doesn't seem to know much about what actually happens inside the brain, which does involve complicated biochemistry which she doesn't seem to have been exposed to. Like Rodger Penrose, she has heard the buzz-words, but doesn't know enough to make sense of them.
