Memory encoding uncovered at cellular level^You might have heard of brain plasticity? When you train your brain doing a specific task it becomes better at it.
A team of scientist have uncovered the central process in how memory is encoded at cellular level.

Not surprisingly the process of training your brains synapses is very much like training your muscles:

Part of strengthening a synapse involves making new proteins. Those proteins build the synapse and make it stronger. Just like with exercise, when new proteins must build up muscle mass, synapses must also make more protein when recording memories. In this research, the regulation and control of that process was uncovered.

What does this mean? It support evidence that the brain is very plastic. That you do grow new tissue in your brain all the time. So start training that big grey muscle of yours....
By the way. Wanna know how they found out?
