Highlighted claims
- Learning was demonstrated to physically change how neurons communicate. — Unusual Brains, Memory, and Neuroplasticity
- Habituation weakens reflexes by weakening synaptic connections between sensory and motor neurons. — Unusual Brains, Memory, and Neuroplasticity
- Sensitization strengthens reflexes by strengthening synaptic connections. — Unusual Brains, Memory, and Neuroplasticity
- Long-lasting memories require mechanisms that maintain synaptic strength over time. — Unusual Brains, Memory, and Neuroplasticity
- Kandel chose Aplysia because its large nerve cells and small number of neurons made circuits easier to map. — Unusual Brains, Memory, and Neuroplasticity
