Within the intricate labyrinth of the mind, a silent concert unfolds. Billions of neurons, biochemically connected, exchange signals at an astonishing rate. This dynamic interplay generates the very essence of our awareness. Each firing, a vibration, contributes to the grand composition that is neural existence. A world interwoven by neural netwo
Synaptic Plasticity: A Key Mechanism for Memory
Memory formation is a complex phenomenon that requires the ability of the brain to modify its connections between nerve cells. This modification of synaptic connections, known as synaptic plasticity, is believed a fundamental mechanism underlying memory consolidation. Synaptic plasticity can take many forms, including long-term potentiation (LTP)
