  Eric R. Kandel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The researchers Kandel interacted with were contemplating the technically challenging idea of intracellular recordings of the electrical activity of the relatively small neurons of the vertebrate brain.
Kandel began to realize that memory storage must rely on modifications in the synaptic connections between neurons and that the complex connectivity of the hippocampus did not provide the best system for study the detailed function of synapses.
Kandel felt it would be productive to select a simple animal model that would facilitate electrophysiological analysis of the synaptic changes involved in learning and memory storage.

Electrophysiology is the science and branch of physiology that pertains to the flow of ions in biological tissues and, in particular, to the electrical recording techniques that enable the measurement of this flow.
An animal model usually refers to a non-human animal with a disease or altered health state that is similar to a human condition, these test subjects are often termed as animal models of disease.
The results from Kandel's laboratory provided solid evidence for the mechanistic basis of learning as "a change in the functional effectiveness of previously existing excitatory connections." 1981 is a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar.

 The health and psychological consequences of cannabis use: chapter 7
Kandel has explicitly disavowed this interpretation of her work: The notion of stages in drug behavior does not imply that these stages are either obligatory or universal...
Kandel et al (1986), for example, were unable to measure the users' attitudes and family characteristics at the time of drug initiation, or differential drug availability, either or both of which "may account for the observed relationships between the early and late stage drugs" (p679).
Kandel's (1984) cross-sectional study found an inverse association between the intensity of marijuana involvement and degree of satisfaction with life, and a positive association between marijuana involvement and a greater likelihood of having consulted a mental health professional, and having been hospitalised for a psychiatric disorder (Kandel, 1984).

 Eric Kandel awarded Nobel Prize in Medicine
Kandel's seminal work with the sea slug Aplysia, a creature with relatively few nerve cells and clearly delineated behavioral circuitry compared with vertebrates, demonstrated fundamental ways in which nerve cells alter their responsiveness to chemical signals to produce a coordinated change in behavior.
Kandel and colleagues found that learning produces changes behavior not by altering basic circuitry, but by adjusting the strength of particular connections between nerve cells.
Kandel and co-workers also defined sets of genes and proteins that stabilize synaptic connections and trigger growth of new ones.

 Lenore Kandel: A Critical Appreciation
Kandel’s writing was very different, celebrating the sacredness and beauty of the human animal, but the onslaught of porn blurred boundaries and reinforced the completely inaccurate (but by then concretized) stereotype as Kandel a bad girl writing about being bad.
Kandel’s poems about sexuality as beauty, innocence and spirituality are not likely to be embraced by this cultural change, and her poem about bondage, Poem for Perverts, flies in the face of the contemporary view that sexuality is psychodrama to act out dark fantasies.
Kandel writes that the proper language for poetry is the actual language used in life and, if the required language does not exist in life, it is up to the poet to discover it.
