Sea Slug Teeth
The giant sea slug
Apylsia
has a simple nervous system that makes them a useful model for neuroscience research. They also have rows of tiny sharp teeth, which cover a tongue-like structure.
BrainFacts/SfN
How much can a person learn in a lifetime?
The amount of information the brain can store in its many trillions of synapses is not infinite, but it is large enough that the amount we can learn is not limited by the brain’s storage capacity.
BrainFacts/SfN
Storing Memories
How exactly are memories stored in brain cells? After years of study, much evidence supports the idea that memory involves a persistent change in synapses, the connections between neurons.
BrainFacts/SfN
Memory: From One Patient to a Breakthrough
A major breakthrough in understanding how the brain accomplishes learning and memory began with the study of a person known by his initials, H.M.
