Hebb’s Postulate of Learning: Activity dependent changes in synaptic function underly CNS phenomena such as learning and memory. “When an axon of cell A is near enough to excite a cell B and repeatedly and persistently takes part in firing it, some growth or metabolic change takes place in one or both cells such that A’s efficiency, as one of the cells firing B, is increased.” -or- “Cells that fire together wire together.”
