Why Do Memories Persist When the Brain Keeps Changing? ↗
CLEM used in the memory study prompts a separate methods-and-infrastructure question.

How far can measurement resolve a question about memory?
02 / EVIDENCE & TECHNOLOGY
CLEM / fluorescence microscopy / electron microscopy
Evidence: OIST ↗Lin et al. / Science ↗
03 / EDITORIAL READING
Following the measurement layer separately reveals methods and infrastructure that may transfer to other studies.
04 / WHAT REMAINS UNKNOWN
Electron microscopy is not continuous observation of a living brain. One report does not establish rising demand for the technique.
05 / NEXT CHECK
Method reuse, implementations in other studies and the skills and equipment required.
A hypothesis to keep honest
HYPOTHESIS · NOT YET TESTEDTransfer of a measurement method may open new research questions.
What would change our view: Untested until independent reuse is documented.
A prospective test proposal, not a prediction score. A graph connection does not validate this hypothesis.
