Neurons Rewrite the Clock: New Discovery Reveals How We Truly Learn

Posted by in category: neuroscience

Scientists discovered that the molecule CaMKII helps neurons encode information over seconds, a key process in learning. This challenges previous beliefs about how CaMKII influences synapse-specific plasticity.

A recent study from the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience, published in Nature, has uncovered a crucial step in how neurons encode information on timescales aligned with the process of learning.

A timing mismatch.
