Though scientist Richard Semon introduced the concept of the "engram" 115 years ago to posit a neural basis for memory, direct evidence for engrams has only begun to accumulate recently as ...

Recent Discoveries Interestingly, it is recent work in this exact domain that has put into doubt the idea of synaptic conductance as the basic memory mechanism. Studies by David Glanzman at the ...
