Dr. Kristen Harris and colleagues from the Salk Institute published an article in Neural Computation entitled "Synaptic Information Storage Capacity Measured With Information Theory". The research established a new method to explore synaptic strength, precision of plasticity, and amount of information storage in the brain. The ability to quantify these synaptic features is an important advance towards our understanding of how humans learn and remember, as well as how those processes evolve over time or deteriorate with age or disease.
