Within the intricate labyrinth of the cerebrum, a silent performance unfolds. Billions of neurons, biochemically connected, exchange signals at an astonishing rate. This intricate interplay generates the very essence of our thoughts. Each impulse, a vibration, contributes to the grand symphony that is cognitive existence. The world woven with neu
The Role of Synaptic Plasticity in Memory
Memory formation is a complex process that involves the ability of the brain to alter its connections between brain cells. This adaptation of synaptic connections, known as synaptic plasticity, is believed a fundamental mechanism underlying learning. Synaptic plasticity can take many forms, including long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depr
