Early-born neurons (magenta) in the hippocampus create a long-persisting copy of a memory.

Brain Creates Triple Backup: New Study Reveals Multiple Copies of Memories

Categories Brain & Behavior

Climbing fibres, in the form of ivy, wrap around the branches of a Purkinje cell-shaped tree, within the vibrant courtyard of a school populated by mice. The illustration captures the essential role of climbing fibres as teaching signals for associative cerebellar learning.
