Synapses in individual neurons do not follow a single strategy during learning as previously thought
A new study sheds light on how the brain adjusts its ‘wiring’ during learning, concluding that different dendritic segments of the same neuron follow different rules for communicating through their connections - synapses. The findings challenge the idea that neurons follow a single learning strategy and offer a new perspective on how the brain learns and adapts its behaviour. The work, carried out in mice, is published in the journal Science.
