Synaptic Plasticity and Memory Hypothesis

  • "In its most general form, the synaptic plasticity and memory hypothesis states that 'activity-dependent synaptic plasticity is induced at appropriate synapses during memory formation and is both necessary and sufficient for the information storage underlying the type of memory mediated by the brain area in which that plasticity is observed.'"
  • Synaptic plasticity is not as sufficient as we previously thought
