- This paper was a significant contribution because it discovered a mechanism for how brain memory traces can interact selectively. World-leading neuroscientist Eve Marder cited it saying “A recent study by O’Donnell and Sejnowski shows that memory generalization can emerge from diffusion of plasticity proteins in dendritic trees” (O’Leary et al, Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2015). The study was highlighted in the media, e.g. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/04/140416125430.htm. The paper helped O’Donnell get a permanent lectureship at UOB. O’Donnell was later granted £207K from the Leverhulme Trust [RPG-2019-229], and secured a PhD student on the BBSRC SWBio programme to continue the work.
