Memory Storage Flashcards
Lashley theorized that
lesioning an area should destroy all memories in that given area
Lashleys failed theory showed what?
Memories are stored diffusely
Memories become more resistant to disruption over time
memory is the process
of coding, storing, retrieving experiences and learned info
explicit memory is for and in
info learned and is in hippo, limbic and frontal
implicit is ingrained skills, automatic and no cons
motor cerebellum
striatum in associative
short term or working and is in the frontal lobe
reference or long term is
in the medial temporal lobe
Amgydala emo of events
frontal holds the timeline of important events
visual input memories are found in the
inferotemporal cortex
bilateral damage to the AMYG results in
inability to acquire a conditioned startle response
prefrontal lesions can result in
inabiliity to remember timeline of events, even when events are easily recalled
what did bliss and Lømø get up to?
showed that long-term potentiation (strengthened synaptic connections) came as a result of learning
the NDMA receptor is a recep for
but only if
gluatamtate
glutamate must bind to it
and the PS neuron must already be partially depoled
LTP needs PS neurons to be depoled because
it allows neural networks to learn assocations
maintenance of LTP depends on
proteins
