John Lisman

John Lisman is a prominent neuroscientist known for his research on the brain's memory mechanisms, particularly related to how memories are formed and stored. He has made significant contributions to our understanding of synapses, the connections between neurons, and how they strengthen during learning, a process crucial for memory retention. Lisman's work has implications for understanding various conditions, including Alzheimer's disease and other memory-related disorders. His theories, such as the "Hebbian" principle, emphasize the importance of the timing of neuronal activity in forming lasting memories, shaping how scientists study memory and learning in the brain.
