Abstract: Abstract: RNA has the characteristics of forming a variety of structures. RNA structure is fundamental to RNA function. RNA structure carries the important biological information on function. In the brain， RNA structure has a bearing on the important functions of memory information code. This review briefly discussed the RNA structure as a carrier of biological information and memory information code in the human brain， especially the carrier of immediate memory information code. This hypothesis offers a new perspective for the interpretation of the molecular mechanism of memory.
