Within the intricate labyrinth of the mind, a silent concert unfolds. Billions of neurons, biochemically connected, fire signals at an astonishing rate. This complex interplay generates the very essence of our consciousness. Each signal, a pulse, contributes to the grand prelude that is neural existence. A world interwoven by neural networks The
The Role of Synaptic Plasticity in Memory
Learning and memory is a complex process that requires the ability of the brain to alter its connections between brain cells. This adaptation of synaptic strength, known as synaptic plasticity, is considered a fundamental principle underlying cognitive function. Synaptic plasticity can take different shapes, including long-term potentiation (LTP)
