Novel Mechanism For Long-term Learning Identified
Practice makes perfect -- or at least that's what we're told as we struggle through endless rounds of multiplication tables, goal kicks and piano scales -- and it seems, based on the personal experience of many, to be true. That's why neuroscientists have been perplexed by data showing that at the level of individual synapses, or connections between neurons, increased, repetitive stimulation might actually reverse early gains in synaptic strength.
