  "account": "Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology and their colleagues have discovered that learning modifies inhibitory synapses differently within a single nerve cell. This finding, published in Nature Communications, sheds light on how neural networks can maintain both plasticity and stability during learning.",
  "summary": "Our brain must be able to learn new things without losing previously stored information or the stability of its networks. Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology (LIN) in Magdeburg, together with partners in Bielefeld and Zurich, have investigated how this balance is achieved.",
