Brain cells get tweaked 'on the go'
A new molecular 'switch' has been discovered that controls the properties of neurons in response to changes in the activity of their neural network. The findings suggest that the 'hardware' in our brain is tuneable and could have implications that go far beyond basic neuroscience -- from informing education policy to developing new therapies for neurological disorders such as epilepsy.
