We build on progress in understanding the role of glia cells in building the initial networks in the foetal brain. This has led us to make three significant postulates. Short term memory results from glia cells forming speculative links directly and solely as a result of neural activity generated by life experiences. These temporary 'glia bridges' create long term memory by stimulating the growth of axons, dendrites and synapses and providing the pathways enabling permanent neural structures to be created. Problem solving, idea creation and memory maintenance results from this fundamental algorithm for how the brain generates new links.
