Zusammenfassung

“How does the brain establish and store memories? Neuroscientists have traditionally addressed this question by focusing on neurons and the synapses that link them — just as engineers might try to understand how homes in a town communicate simply by tracing the telephone lines linking them. Now investigators must consider the possibility that each home’s windows are wide open and that everyone is eavesdropping on his or her neighbors.” [vgl. Scientific American, May 1994, S. 9]
