The researchers think that this suggests that differences in the number of synapses encode memories, and could also help explain why negative associative memories, like those related with PTSD, are so persistent.
This sort of seems like what you would expect in a bunch of non fully connected layers in a neural network. Synapses in this case can be though of as activation functions. Layers that have more active connections (activation functions that activate and flow to a specific deeper layer on a given input) from previous layers are more significant of a learned pattern.
exactly and the patterns all converge when enough learning has occurred to make instant connections with some activities that are similar like repairing cars. It's the path of learning that the most knowledge is gained not watching a video or reading but the actual experience of the work or anything that makes the real growth or lack of.
Also it's all brain this brain that, the muscles themselves have to learn aka "muscle memory" where the muscles learn to do something so well it's like they are on a script where they do it without you even having to think about it at all and that is where you do your best work if you're good at all.
