5. Evolutionary genetics and neuroscience5.a) Brain memory inheritanceThe verification of inheritability of memory requires a much more complicated model than that of intelligence unless measurements of partial capacities can be obtained. For example, the effect of simple complementariness would have to be isolated between memory and intelligence. The effect of complex complementariness is that which is produced by the intervention of intelligence in the processes of the global information system of the human memory. Another factor could be the different potentials of the memory's stratum or of special memories. Neuroscience should provide models of the brain’s functioning that allow analyzing in greater detail, but despite the advances being produced it seems that a concrete model still does not exist. In other words, for the capacity of the language our brain with the information of both ancestors develops a mechanism without requiring the confirmation between both. Something similar could happen with the intuition that sometimes is very powerful but one cannot be certain about it. The verification of inheritability of memory requires a much more complicated model than that of intelligence and it will need measurements of partial capacities of the memory's stratum or of special memories can be obtained. Neuroscience should provide models of the brain’s functioning that allow analyzing in greater detail, but despite the advances being produced it seems that a concrete model still does not exist. The figure shows us the effect on the cognitive capacities of possible descendents that are supposedly contrary to the VGI method. The expression of the capacities will follow an additive mathematical law in place of a law of intersection. Genetics and neuroscience In any case, the evolutionary genetics model for medium and long term normal memory needs to take into account the following aspects:
