Based on his answer it would actually be persistent- assuming there was a method of flash freeze/storage perfected in which literally zero of the tissue was damaged or altered…. This is interesting, i to have wondered if memories were physically there in our brain or simply ‘stored’ or ‘running’ in our brain via electric impulses that would all be ‘wiped’ should the brain shut down and start up again.

In the case where we use unobtanium to perfectly freeze and preserve the brain without damage then yeah. The electrical impulses aren't the important part. Neurons use those impulses to quickly signal themselves to signal other neurons chemically, or that a sufficiently stimulating signal/pattern has been received.

Memories aren't persistent in a normally functioning healthy brain which hasn't been scifi frozen in time.
