Antibodies as a type of chemical memory

Vascular system has a “memory” system that runs parallel with the nervous system.

The vascular system uses a system similar to how b cells create antibodies to create molecular memory/instructions which can then be utilized by organs in a semi-independent, asynchronous manner.

Might be that the primary function of the immune system isn’t to ward off infection but to serve as a system of memory. It’s interesting to view it as a body wide, high latency, low energy system compared to the localized, low latency, high energy nervous system.

This puts the translation mechanisms either in the SVZ/SGZ or olfactory areas for the nervous system? Would be funny if the reason scent is so scentsitive (I’m here till Wednesday!) for many mammals is the olfactory areas are used in the transcription process between chemical and nervous system memories.

Axoplasmic streaming of memory proteins to final representation locations?
