Q

temporary information storage; requires rehearsal and has limited capacity

A

working memory

21
Q

what brain region controls working memory

A

prefrontal cortex

22
Q

in animals required to use working memory certain cells in the prefrontal cortex will fire throughout the delay in experiments, what happens to the cell firing when an error happens

A

the cell stops responding before the error occurs

23
Q

the wisconsin card-sorting task shows that lesions to prefrontal cortex impair ability to change card sorting ____

A

strategy

24
Q

area ____ in charge of saccades is also connected to working memory

A

LIP

25
Q

substantial loss of memory and or ability to form new memories

A

amnesia

26
Q

“obvious” cause; most common

A

limited amnesia

27
Q

amnesia

no associated cognitive deficit, psychoactive drug use or medical condition; rare

A

dissociated amnesia

28
Q

inability to recall past memories

A

retrograde amnesia

29
Q

inability to form new memories

A

anterograde amnesia

30
Q

relatively short in duration; generally resolves within hours; due to temporary ischemia

A

transient global amnesia

31
Q

who said that active neurons strengthen their connections and cells that fire together wire together

A

hebb

32
Q

widely distributed among linked cells in the assembly (can include neurons for sensation and perception)

A

engram

33
Q

declarative memory flows through what region

A

medial temporal lobe

34
Q

the temporal lobe has a role in memory ____

A

storage

35
Q

who demonstrated that stimulation of the temporal lobe people had hallucinations and recall ____ memories

A

episodic

36
Q

the effects temporal lobectomy caused what kind of amnesia in HM

A

anterograde

37
Q

HM had impaired had declarative memory but spared _____ memory

A

procedural (would get better mirror drawing task but couldn’t ever remember doing it)

38
Q

lesions in the medial temporal lobe show impaired memory recognition at long but not short delays what does this show

A

working memory was still intact

39
Q

the hippocampus function in declarative memory is to

A

bind sensory information for memory consolidation (important for spatial and location)

40
Q

birds ahve what large area in their brain based off their need to use spatial cues

A

hippocampus

41
Q

the ____ cortex is a major input to the hippocampus- place cells show “summation” of grid cells places and direction of mocement

A

entorhina;

42
Q

different hippocampal neurons fired for _____ odor and location pairing

A

specific (this is the integration of sensory and local information)

43
Q

area ____ may endode memory for faces; lesion impairs discrimination among faces despite intact visual systems

A

IT

44
Q

the _____ thalamus being injured by low B1 in alcoholism or injury result in

A

sever memory impairment and confusion

45
Q

system of interconnected brain structures take in sensory information, make associations, consolidate them and store the engrams for later recall

A

consolidation

46
Q

what region is key for consolidation (basis for long term memory)

A

medial temporal lobe

47
Q

each time memory retrieved by neocortex new traces are formed but the hippocampus is always involved

A

multiple trace model

48
Q

engrams can be selectively altered even after consolidation

A

reconsolidation
