When neuroscientists say “Kandel neuroscience,” they’re referring to the revolutionary framework established by Eric R. Kandel. His research demonstrated that learning and memory are rooted in alterations of synaptic transmission—a concept that bridged psychology and molecular biology. By studying the gill-withdrawal reflex in Aplysia californica , Kandel identified key signaling pathways (cAMP, PKA, MAPK, CREB) that convert short-term facilitation into long-term structural change. This work remains the cornerstone of modern memory research. Kandel identified key signaling pathways (cAMP
