Using these tools, we have observed changes in the microstructure of the pallium of larval zebrafish that occur during memory formation as a result of exposure to a novel classical conditioning paradigm that we developed. Surprisingly, we found that memory formation due to classical conditioning is associated with generation of new synapses, but not with systematic changes in the strengths of existing synapses.<\/p><\/section>\n<\/article>\n<article>\n    <section><h2>Common Fund Data Ecosystem (CFDE)<\/h2>\nNIH Data Commons, a shared virtual space where scientists can work with the digital objects of biomedical research making data-gathering more effective, reliable and accessible The CFDE is an online portal being developed to allow researchers access data from multiple programs in the cloud.
