<span>When Alfred Wegener developed the theory of continental drift in 1912, not many thought those theories of movement of continents are valid and the scientific community did not accept his theory at that time and that did not allow him to research further on ocean floor, paleo-magnetism, and earthquakes.</span>

It was not accepted during Wegener's lifetime because, mainstream scientists that time didn't know the mantle was liquid, they thought it was solid.  They thought the throry was illegitimate because continents did not fit exactly together.

The evidence supporting Wegener's theory was all discovered after his lifetime, like the Seismographs revealed a pattern of volcanoes and earthquakes, and Radiometric dating of rocks revealed a surprisingly young oceanic crust.

synapse that increases in effectiveness because of simultaneous activity in the presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons.
Lesechka [4]

Synapse that increases in effectiveness because of simultaneous activity in the presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons is called Hebbian Synapse.

<h3>What is Synapse?</h3>

A synapse is a component of the nervous system that enables a neuron (or nerve cell) to transmit an electrical or chemical signal to an additional neuron or to the target effector cell.

The transfer of nerve impulses from one neuron to another requires synapses.

The synapse contributes to the development of memory. Because of the signaling mechanisms of the receptors, which are activated by neurotransmitters across the synaptic cleft, the connection between the two neurons is strengthened when both neurons are engaged at the same time. The capacity of two interconnected brain circuits is thought to influence how well memories are stored. Long-term potentiation is the name for this process of synapse strengthening.
