Vectorized instructive signals in cortical dendrites - Nature
Learning involves synaptic strength changes, but how the brain solves credit assignment—determining which synapses to modify for improved performance—remains unknown, unlike artificial neural networks using backpropagation.
Tracking precisely how learning, memories are formed - Harvard Gazette
This technique provides a lens into the synaptic architecture of memory, something previously unattainable in such detail, said Adam Cohen, professor of chemistry and chemical biology.
