From the article it sounds like it may describe another level of reduction to LTP. So, rather than 'this mechanism vs. LTP' it offers a potential genetic mechanism that may explain the changes to neuronal growth during memory formation.
Thank you temp-dude for this viewpoint.
I did not think about it in this way before. Weighing the possible deaths of barring one of the vaccines against the possible deaths of a rise in mistrust towards vaccines seems like an impossible task.
However, the findings of blood clotting alone would not have sufficed for this argument as they really should be no cause for concern at this point in time. The knee-jerk response of other countries on the other hand makes this reasoning much more valid. Something something self-fulfilling prophecy
I don't think he is judging the way in which you learn.
He's simply referring to the current state of research like:
Putnam, et al. (2016). Optimizing Learning in College: Tips From Cognitive Psychology
There has been lots written on learning strategies but one thing we are rather certain of is that cramming is usually the worst way to retain information (if you want to learn it well). You can even read about funky neuronal reasonings for that argument if you are interested.
I am sorry in advance if I misunderstood your sentence.
Are you claiming there is a large subset of neurologists how do not believe in long-term potentiation and other plasticity processes driving long-term retention of memoranda? If so, could you please show me to these crowds?
Long-term potentiality is not the point of disagreement. The disagreement is that individual memories are not recalled, as they are not stored, per se. The idea is that neurons acclimate to inputs, so that when we "recall" them we are not retrieving a "memory" from a storage location but instead are being activated in a way that allows us to preform a learned action.
I imagine those marble/cardboard diagrams of logic gates, where the cardboard flap will be left in a particular position after a marble has passed. In this way you can add numbers by dropping marbles into the appropriate input slots. Yet in this way, one could not derive prior calculations, as it does not store this information anywhere.
