Synaptic plasticity is a fundamental mechanism that allows our brains to adapt in response to experiences. It represents the ability of synapses, the junctions between neurons, to weaken over time. This dynamic phenomenon underlies our potential to learn, store information, and adapt to new stim
Synaptic Plasticity: A Key Mechanism for Memory
Encoding memories is a complex process that requires the ability of the brain to change its connections between neurons. This modification of synaptic strength, known as synaptic plasticity, is thought to be a fundamental process underlying cognitive function. Synaptic plasticity can
