Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have made a major discovery in how the
brain encodes memories. The finding, published in the December 24
issue of the journal Neuron, could eventually lead to the development
of new drugs to aid memory.
The team of scientists is the first to uncover a central process in
encoding memories that occurs at the level of the synapse, where
neurons connect with each other.
