Аннотация
One of the most remarkable aspects of an animal's behavior is the
ability to modify that behavior by learning, an ability that reaches
its highest form in human beings. For me, learning and memory have
proven to be endlessly fascinating mental processes because they
address one of the fundamental features of human activity: our ability
to acquire new ideas from experience and to retain these ideas over
time in memory. Moreover, unlike other mental processes such as thought,
language, and consciousness, learning seemed from the outset to be
readily accessible to cellular and molecular analysis. I, therefore,
have been curious to know: What changes in the brain when we learn?
And, once something is learned, how is that information retained
in the brain? I have tried to address these questions through a reductionist
approach that would allow me to investigate elementary forms of learning
and memory at a cellular molecular level-as specific molecular activities
within identified nerve cells.
