Neural model of memory. During a learning experience, a specific neural circuitry (also called engram) becomes activated and encodes the information (A). The red dots illustrate activated neurons. After memory consolidation, this information is stored in long-term memory in a low-activity state (B). When learned information is retrieved, the same neural circuitry becomes activated (C). Adapted from Josselyn et al., Nat Rev Neurosci. 2015 Sep;16(9):521-34.

Other factors potentially affecting resistance mechanisms are agrochemicals from agriculture, pollutants from urbanisation or industry, allelochemicals from natural xenobiotics, or host interactions from microbiomes.
