Study Reveals Brain's Data Storage Capacity is 10x Greater Than Believed

A new study reveals that the brain can store nearly 10 times more information than previously thought, thanks to a more precise method of measuring synaptic strength and plasticity. This finding, based on research in rat hippocampus, suggests that synapses can store between 4.1 and 4.6 bits of information, challenging earlier assumptions and potentially enhancing our understanding of learning, aging, and neurological diseases.
