Dr. Szent-Györgyi researched the role of muscle contraction and energy and fostered discoveries that were based on collaboration. I like to think of associative logic as an important muscle in ...

Nature Neuroscience - Presynaptic kainate receptors impart an associative property to hippocampal mossy fiber long-term potentiation Skip to main content Thank you for visiting nature.com.

Indeed, special receptors in our synapses can pick up the "associations" between neurons. But the associative architecture of the brain is responsible for many of our memory bugs and cognitive biases.

Associative memory abilities are known to decline in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's Disease. Understanding the neurobiological mechanism of how these memories are formed is the first ...
