Randomly fluctuating neural connections may implement a consolidation mechanism that explains classic memory laws

Abstract How can we reconcile the massive fluctuations in neural connections with a stable long-term memory? Two-photon microscopy studies have revealed that large portions of neural connections (spines, synapses) are unexpectedly active, changing unpredictably over time. This appears to invalidate...
