【 摘 要 】

An article published at the end of last year by Chen et al. (2014) reported their revelatory work with cultured Aplysia motor and sensory neurons which has led them to challenge the idea that synaptic connectivity and conductivity form the basis of learning and memory in the brain. With their paper Chen et al. have weighed in on a debate that has been raging in the cognitive sciences for most of the field's existence (Gallistel, 1998), namely the question of whether the brain should or can reasonably be considered a representational-computational system.
