Long Term Memory

Long Term Memory

1. Types of Memory

2. Hippocampus

   • Explicit (declarative) memory
   • Spatial learning
   • Structure

3. Long term synaptic plasticity

   • LTP
     • what is required
     • Features of NMDA receptors
   • Mechanisms
     • Mechanism via repetitive stimulation
     • STDP
       • Back propagating action potentials

4. Associative memory formation

   • Pavlovian conditioning
   • Relationship with synapses
   • STDP
   • Hebb's Theory of Cell Assemblies

5. Working Memory

   • Testing working memory
   • Neural correlates of working memory
   • Possible mechanisms of persistent activity
