Brain accesses information by content not memory address
Humans rapidly access memories via their contents; eg presidential memories are accessed by information about the president—name, face etc—not by an explicit address. Connectionist networks and  brains have content addressable memories of this type.


George Hinton, James McClelland & David Rumelhart (1986).
