Synaptic efficacy is commonly regulated within a nervous system and predicts individual differences in learning.

Abstract excerpt

The hypothesis that an individual's capacity for learning might be predicted or influenced by basal levels of synaptic efficacy has eluded empirical tests, owing in part to the inability to compare between animals single identified synaptic responses in the mammalian brain. To overcome this limitation, we have focused our analysis on the invertebrate Hermissenda, whose nervous system is composed of identifiable...
