During LTP, the firing of a neuron triggers physical changes to its structure.

But both animals have a similar number of neurons in their pallium, a brain region that’s associated with cognition.

A far cry from the simplified, cartoon-like neurons that power today's AI.

And we thought that once cocaine interacted with these dopamine neurons, it just had this almost magical power over the person's behavior.

And then we are often running in neuro-plasticity, how his experience changed these neurons in previous months.

And when we ask that, we are asking something about what neurons in different parts of their brain did a fraction of a second ago.
