Building Blocks of Memory in the Brain

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5trRLX7PQY&t=1460s

This video describes memory formation and retention as a competition between different neurons. 

I have heard this before.

I wonder if more biological processes involve competition between cells.  We know that some cells self-destruct when they detect a defect or an infection.  Competition might be a method by which biology optimizes its functioning.
