   3 corrections applied: CREB's role in long-term memory was established by Kandel's lab ~1990 (Aplysia), not a 1983 Kandel-Nicoll Nature paper; Nicoll is not associated with the CREB/Aplysia work. | The Landrigan et al. resident-error NEJM study was published in 2004, not 2007. | The Adesope, Trevisan & Sundararajan retrieval-practice meta-analysis was published in 2017 in Review of Educational Research, not 2019 in Psychological Bulletin.

   Before

   His 1983 paper with Roger Nicoll; published in 2007 in the New England Journal of Medicine; 2019 meta-analysis by Adesope, Trevisan, and Sundararajan published in Psychological Bulletin

   After

   His work around 1990 with colleagues; published in 2004 in the New England Journal of Medicine; 2017 meta-analysis by Adesope, Trevisan, and Sundararajan published in Review of Educational Research

   Why: Verified live: all 3 corrections already present in body content and bibliography. FAQ decoded (4-step op-sequence) and checked - no mention of these facts. Excerpt clean. Note: post title metadata reads 'How Nuclear Energy Functions: Fission and Reactor Power' despite slug/content being about learning/brain - flagged as a separate out-of-scope metadata anomaly, not a factual fabrication.
