Quote by Eric Kandel
"The molecules involved in learning and memory are ancient, shared across species."
More from Eric Kandel
"Memory is not just one thing. It's not even localized to one place in the brain. It's the by-product of the various brain systems working together."
"Learning results from what the student does and thinks, and only the student can do the learning."
"The brain is like a muscle. When it is in use we feel more vigorous, more alive. And I think that is what education is for; it is to exercise this stimulation of what I most enjoy calling the mind."
"Insight can come to you in the middle of the night when you're surrounded by silence and you have nothing but your own thoughts."
