Learning and memory are a result of changes in the efficiency with which neurons are able to communicate with each other at structures called synapses. Over the past 2-3 decades we have learned that the strength of synapses can be increased as a result of mental activity and that such increases are often required for memory. One of the most active areas in modern neuroscience research is trying to understand at the cellular and molecular level just what causes the increased synaptic strength and how it ca...
