Memory cell

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

Memory cells are a part of Data's positronic brain.

The contents of the journals and logs of the colonists of Omicron Theta were transferred into Data's memory cells. Furthermore, Doctor Noonien Soong, Data's creator, also experimented with scanning the synaptic patterns of the colonists' temporal lobes and programmed them into his neural nets.
