long term potentiation
- grow more dendrites at synapse if signals keep on sending, can send better signal
- neurotransmitters can change, increase excitatory or decrease inhibitory
ways of memory reconstruction
sharpening, assimilation, leveling
sharpening
certain aspects are emphasized and form the core part of the story
assimilation
discrepant information is changed to confirm to core of story so it seems more logical
leveling
stories get shorter over time
