How do we form memories?
In this Neuroscience Perspectives, Dr. Ueli Rutishauser explores the fundamental mechanisms behind memory formation and why this work matters

New in @ejneuroscience.bsky.social 🧠
Electrical synapses matter for memory: blocking gap junctions selectively disrupts sleep-dependent declarative memory, while reshaping spindle–slow-oscillation coupling during NREM sleep.
