How can memories persist in the brain when their properties and supporting biological substrates change over time and experiences?
Our latest work newly published in @ScienceMagazine proposes that a balance between memory dynamics and persistence is achieved through the divergent recruitment of multiple memory traces established in parallel upon memory encoding.
