What did Kandel study in neurons?

  • Synaptic growth

  • Memory storage

  • Neural decay

  • Dopamine pathways

Answer

In my previous response, I mentioned that Kandel studied memory storage in neurons. Eric Kandel, a prominent neuroscientist, focused his research on the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying memory formation and storage in the brain. His work with sea slugs, Aplysia californica, provided key insights into the changes that occur at the synapse, the junction where neurons communicate, during learning and memory processes.
