" ... 3) Instead, long-term memories involve more structural changes in the brain. These changes can come in many different forms. The more typical (and widely studied) is when the strength of the connections between two neurons - called synapses - change. This physiological implementation of memories provides an intuition of how they work. For example, imagine that a neuron that encodes a place, and another that encodes an emotion, are activated when a wrong experience is felt at this particular place. As a result of this experience, these two neurons fire together and then wire together (this is known as Hebb's rule). Then, whenever the neurons of this particular place are activated, the emotion is also retrieved. ... "
" ... Another researcher at Berkeley, Basem Al-Shayeb, 27, helped discover the largest known virus, which infects bacteria and could help scientists improve Crispr technology. Also doing work on the microscopic scale is Zibo Chen, 29, who’s designing molecular computers that can modify cells. Doing almost the exact mirror image of this is Chanyeol Choi, 29, who’s developing large-scale computing devices using artificial versions of the synapses in human brains. ... "
" ... If you’ve ever tried breaking an old habit, you know how hard it can be. When a habit is ingrained in our brain it creates neural pathways that are comfortable for synapses to travel through. ... "
" ... Melissa's sister read about Sage's experimental drug, Sage-547, on the Internet. It blocks haywire electrical signals from jumping across nerve synapses in the brain and central nervous system. Dale mentioned it to her neurologist. Melissa, still in a coma, was flown from Springfield, Mo. to Wichita, Kans. to be part of a clinical trial. ... "
" ... Way back when, I took a philosophy course about logic and persuasion and it really stuck in my synapses. I remember specific sections of the textbook and the lectures, but the one that really took hold is called the slippery slope fallacy. It’s illogical because small adjustments don’t always lead to major changes. In the logic class, the professor said it’s a false conclusion. Taking tiny sips of beer as a teenager won’t automatically make you an alcoholic in a month. Increasing the speed limit a little doesn’t mean we’re all going to start driving like crazy animals. ... "
