Researchers find that neurons compete to become part of memory networks in the brain

   Researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), Columbia University, UCLA, Harvard Medical School and University of California, Irvine have found that there is competition between brain cells during memory formation and that the expression of a particular protein is involved in the success of a brain cell becoming part of a given memory. This research is reported in the April 20 issue of Science.
