Does olfactory memory depend on remembering odors?
The question mark in the title indicates that what follows is not a theory explaining odor memory, but a series of findings that question the traditional view of memory, in which acquisition and retrieval of ‘memory items’ dominate all questions asked. That such questions arise in an area that deals with odors is not surprising. Odors are the least palpable and most evanescent of stimuli. Odors...
متن کاملOlfactory coding: Revealing intrinsic representations of odors
Recent studies have applied optical imaging of intrinsic signals to the rodent olfactory system, providing a unique view of how odorous molecules are represented in the central nervous system.
متن کاملDoes the “Sleep Effect” on Memory Depend on Sleep or on Night Time?
I is a well-established fact that recall of verbal information from long-term memory is superior after retention intervals of nocturnal sleep in comparison to retention intervals of daytime wakefulness (1-9). This finding was subsequently termed “sleep effect” (10). However, due to the confounding of the two factors sleep/wake and circadian phase that is inherent in the experimental design used...
متن کاملAdaptive Memory: Evolutionary Constraints on Remembering
Human memory evolved subject to the constraints of nature’s criterion— differential survival and reproduction. Consequently, our capacity to remember and forget is likely tuned to solving fitness-based problems, particularly those prominent in the ancestral environments in which memory evolved. Do the operating characteristics of memory continue to bear the footprint of nature’s criterion? This...
متن کاملSensory Memory for Odors Is Encoded in Spontaneous Correlated Activity Between Olfactory Glomeruli
Sensory memory is a short-lived persistence of a sensory stimulus in the nervous system, such as iconic memory in the visual system. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying olfactory sensory memory. We have therefore analyzed the effect of odor stimuli on the first odor-processing network in the honeybee brain, the antennal lobe, which corresponds to the vertebrate olfactory bu...
