As much as in computers, encryption-decryption also takes place in biology. In fact, in a recent research the authors examined the influence of molecular mechanisms of the ‘long-term potentiation’ (LTP) phenomenon in the hippocampus on the functional importance of synaptic plasticity for storage of information and the development of neuronal connectivity. It is not yet clear if the activity modifies the strength of the single synapses in a digital ('''01''', all or nothing) or analog (graduated) way. In the study it emerges that individual synapses appear to have an 'all or nothing' enhancement, indicative of highly cooperative processes, but different thresholds for undergoing enhancement. These findings raise the possibility that some forms of synaptic memory may be digitally stored in the brain<ref>{{cite book  

Autant que dans les ordinateurs, le cryptage-décryptage a également lieu en biologie. En fait, dans une recherche récente, les auteurs ont examiné l'influence des mécanismes moléculaires du phénomène de « potentialisation à long terme » (LTP) dans l'hippocampe sur l'importance fonctionnelle de la plasticité synaptique pour le stockage de l'information et le développement de la connectivité neuronale.
