Concept learning led to 24h-stable changes in functional responses in the early visual cortex, enhancing performance.
Memory formation tracked through functional and diffusion-weighted MRI showed microstructural changes correlating with learning.
Detailed item-context learning caused similar adaptations in posterior parietal areas, underscoring flexible learning mechanisms.
Findings suggest the neocortex can rapidly learn visual concepts without prior knowledge, challenging existing memory models.
