Within the intricate labyrinth of the cerebrum, a silent concert unfolds. Billions of neurons, electrically connected, fire signals at an astonishing rate. This complex interplay creates the very essence of our awareness. Each impulse, a vibration, contributes to the grand composition that is neural existence. The world woven with neural networks
Synaptic Plasticity and Memory Formation
Encoding memories is a complex phenomenon that depends on the ability of the brain to modify its connections between neurons. This adaptation of synaptic strength, known as synaptic plasticity, is considered a fundamental mechanism underlying cognitive function. Synaptic plasticity can take many forms, including long-term potentiation (LTP) and lo
