Epigenetic information might be important too (especially since epigenetic information may determine a neuron’s sensitivity to “updates”). In metamorphosis, a butterfly seems to retain some of its caterpillar memories even though all of its neuronal arbors are completely reorganized and lost, and that information may be stored in the epigenome.
Also, there’s a hypothesis that memory may even be stored in RNA (see Gaurav)
