# brain: a new learning theory; the role of weak synapses

AA << demonstrate a new type of abundant cooperative nonlinear dynamics where learning is attributed solely to the nodes, instead of the network links which their number is significantly larger >>

<< The network dynamics is now counterintuitively governed by the weak links, which previously were assumed to be insignificant >>
