Now it is clear that the input must have a certain intensity AND a certain duration in order that an action potential is formed. So the fleeting input may miss out on causing the neuron to "fire". And the light touch (like the mosquito landing) might also fail to register. So too, perhaps the fleeting thought fails to become memory. To make a memory does the thought need to be held long enough? Repeated and mulled over strongly enough? Regards,
