Flexible Memory

Nobel Prize winner Prof. Dr. Eric R. Kandel from Columbia University, New York, is considered the "Einstein of brain research". In the year 2000 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his research on the physiological basis of memory storage. Using a simple sea slug as his research subject, the sea hare, which possesses particularly large nerve cells, he discovered proteins from which long-term memory is formed.
