Aberrant expression of synaptic plasticity-related genes in the NF1+/- mouse hippocampus.

30 Oct 2009 Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is a common single-gene disorder that causes learning impairments in patients. Neurofibromin encoded by the NF1 causal gene regulates Ras/MAPK and cAMP signaling pathways. These signaling pathways play critical roles in ... Read more...

Task-dependent activations of human auditory cortex during pitch discrimination and pitch memory tasks.

19 Oct 2009 The functional organization of auditory cortex (AC) is still poorly understood. Previous studies suggest segregation of auditory processing streams for spatial and nonspatial information located in the posterior and anterior AC, respectively ... Read more...

Molecular and cellular approaches to memory allocation in neural circuits.

14 Oct 2009 Although memory allocation is a subject of active research in computer science, little is known about how the brain allocates information within neural circuits. There is an extensive literature on how specific types of memory engage different parts ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Memory'

Definition: Complex mental function having four distinct phases: (1) memorizing or learning, (2) retention, (3) recall, and (4) recognition. Clinically, it is usually subdivided into immediate, recent, and remote memory.
