like computers, the brain’s memory storage is measured in “bits,” and the number of bits it can hold rests on the connections between its neurons, known as synapses. historically, scientists thought synapses came in a few sizes and strengths, limiting the brain’s storage capacity. however, this theory has been challenged, and the new study further backs the idea that the brain can hold about 10 times more than previously thought.
