Neuropsychological theory postulating that increased synaptic efficacy arises from the repeated and persistent stimulation of a postsynaptic neuron by a presynaptic one; proposed by Donald Hebb in his book "The Organization of Behavior" (1949).
What it led to

- Computational models of learning and memory
- Research on synaptic plasticity and long-term potentiation
