Human Brain and Quantum Physics

I was having a discussion today at work related to Quantum Physics and modelling the human brain. It was a good discussion where Brian was explaing his experiences with modelling and representing realities in terms of partial differential equations.

Human brain is a collection of nerves tissues. And they have a very unique way of storing information and retrieving it. Considering the fact that the number of such tissues are in order of billions. But then again as we study more about humans and the way human brain work. Few questions pop up immediately:
1. How does human brain stores information.
2. What is the format in which the information is stored in the brain.
3. How does it relate one information to Other.
4. Why do we remember something which happened long back but forgot something which happened recently.

There are many such questions which can be asked about it. But one of the question which I am very interested (personally) in knowing is how does it relate one form of information to another?

This is my first post to this forum, so rather than coming up with some solution I am throwing questions around :) I guess that's where my strengths lies.

Until next time :)
