linking LTP to memories

linking LTP to memories

1. behavior, memories, and brain

   • LTP is not a memory
   • behavior leads to memory trace
   • many parts can affect memory
   • learning and performance distinction methods
     • damage brain region
     • inject drugs
     • modify the DNA to increase to decrease the expression
   • behavior test methods
     • inhibitory avoidance conditioning
     • fear conditioning
     • morris water escape task

2. STM AND LTM AND MEMORY LOSS

   • STM(ACTIVE)
     • rapid decay
     • vulnerable to disruption
   • LTM(INACTIVE)
     • slow decay
     • less vulnerable
   • memories need to be consolidated
     • new memories are easier to disrupt
   • memory disruption
     • ECS can have impaired memories
       • only cause amnesia before memories start consolidate
     • amenisia
       • storage failure
       • Retrieval failure
