Important molecular change occurring in the brain when we learn and remember have been identified by researchers. The research shows that learning stimulates our brain cells in a manner that causes a small fatty acid to attach to delta-catenin, a protein in the brain.

Learning New Things can Change Human Brain Cells
Important molecular change occurring in the brain when we learn and remember have been identified by researchers. The research shows that learning stimulates our brain cells in a manner that causes a small fatty acid to attach to delta-catenin, a protein in the brain.
