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...

Protein phosphatase 1 regulates the histone code for long-term memory.

12 Oct 2009 Chromatin remodeling through histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs) and DNA methylation has recently been implicated in cognitive functions, but the mechanisms involved in such epigenetic regulation remain poorly understood. Here, we show ... Read more...
