• The Dictionary (Oxford English Dictionary) defines engram as: A memory-trace; a permanent and heritable physical change in the nerve tissue of the brain, posited to account for the existence of memory. (from oed.com)

The term engram may refer to one of the following:

• In Dianetics, a memory trace, with or without a change in nerve tissue, containing some unconsciousness and masked from consciousness by its unconsciousness; see Engram (Dianetics).
• In Neurolinguistic programming, according to some (NLP) theorists, a patterned response which has been stabilised at the level of unconscious competence; see Neuro-linguistic programming.
• In Neuropsychology, a memory trace caused by stimuli; see Engram (neuropsychology).
