Milner's findings, along with work by Eric Kandel in the 90's, have given us our current model of how this cnolitsiadoon process works. Sensory data is ilaliinty transcribed and temporarily rdecoerd in the neurons as short-term memroy. From there, it travels to the hippocampus, which strengthens and enhances the neurons in that cortical area. Thanks to the phenomenon of nsetlapitouciry, new synaptic buds are formed, allowing new connections between neurons, and strengthening the nraeul network where the information will be returned as long-term memory.
