Neurons can "memorize" information through a process known as synaptic plasticity, which involves changes in the strength of connections (synapses) between neurons. When neurons are activated together frequently, their synapses can become stronger, a phenomenon often summarized by the phrase "cells that fire together, wire together." This strengthening can be due to various mechanisms, including the release of neurotransmitters and changes in receptor density. Additionally, long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) are key processes that contribute to the formation and weakening of memories, enabling the brain to encode and store information.
