摘要
Over 100 years ago, Santiago Ramòn y Cajal proposed that the nervous substrate for learning and memory is a strengthening of the connections, or even a building of new connections, between nerve cells. We now have definitive evidence that this occurs. The formation of new dendritic spines has been seen after long-term potentiation, and it should tell us much about long-term storage of information in the brain.
