“I really have to strain my brain to understand this!” - Who hasn’t experienced this, or something like it, when it comes to trying to understand something complicated? Researchers have only recently been able to show that this is not very far-fetched. For whenever we learn something new, regardless of how complicated it is, our “little grey cells”, or neurons, grow new contacts to their neighboring cells. If the new information is retained, then such contacts become stable. However, what is the time frame for the development of these connections? Is the exchange of information possible immediately after two nerve cells make contact? And what happens in the brain when new information dispels old information, for example, when learning a new language, which can result in the fading of knowledge of a previously learned language? Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology are now able to provide some answers to these questions……..
