}My question: my understanding of the brain and memory is poor, even by
}current standards. I think I heard, though, that short term memory is
}stored in the synapses, in electro-chemical form, and long term memory
}(learning) involved a gradual, directed rewiring of the brain. IF this
}is correct, how do the analog VLSI guys intend to manage this?

About where STM and LTM are ( or our best guess to date ),
Not only is LTM in the "wiring pattern" of the neurons, but also
in the amount of calcium in the synapses ( more Ca on a well learned pattern)

About the success of Carver Mead's approach,
The intelligence that may/will arrise out of VLSI Neural Networks
will Artificial in the sence that they will be just a bit different
than "us". But then again people, say far easterners, also can seem
quite different that "us", or the possible difference even between the
sexes ( as far as thinking/feeling ).  Things like LTM are
not super hard to solve, most of the VLSI networks come fully inter-
connected, gradual rewiring is no problem ( assuming you equations
mimic those of Bio Neurons... )
Just some thoughts...
