Lasting learning-cell requires less input from another the next time its activitated. Parially gene controlled.(LTP) long-term potentiation-cell is stimulated over and over so that it excites nearby cells(LTD) long-term depression-occurs when synapse is altered so its less likely to firelearning is done through alteration of synaptic activity Behavior-governed by complex emotional states and memories
