Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...

When we forced independent memories to be stored in the same neuronal somas or even the dendrites and found just this simple intervention in one brain region, the retrosplenial cortex, was enough ...
