Synaptic engram underlies memory

Memory encoding cells, or engram cells, are sparsely distributed across the brain.

Memory encoding cells, or engram cells, are sparsely distributed across the brain. Recent findings have shown that memory formation coincides with the strengthening of interregional synaptic connectivity between engram ensembles. However, whether this learning-induced synaptic…
