Yukiko Goda: Memories are made of this
T he billions of synaptic connections in the brain are constantly remod-eled in response to changes in neu-ral activity, a phenomenon known as synap-tic plasticity. These alterations in synapse form and function allow neurons to store and relay information, and therefore provide a cellular basis for learning and memory. Yukiko Goda began studying how neu-rons alter the strength of their synapse...
متن کاملMemories Are Made of This: Modeling the CaMKII Molecular Switch
Average earth temperatures rose 0.6 oC over the last century, according to the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. But that increase pales in comparison to the 1.4–5.8 oC expected increase over this century. As temperatures climb, climate models predict that high-latitude, high-altitude regions like Yellowstone National Park will experience shorter winters and earlier snow melts. ...
متن کاملDendritic Spines: The Stuff That Memories Are Made Of?
Two new studies explore structural changes of nerve cells as a potential mechanism for memory formation by studying synaptic reorganization associated with motor learning.
متن کاملMemories are made of this: the effects of time on stored visual knowledge in a case of visual agnosia.
We report the effects of the passage of time on the longterm visual knowledge for objects in a patient with visual agnosia (H.J.A.). The naming of real objects was found to have improved, although this was not associated with any change in H.J.A.'s basic perceptual abilities which were stable over a 16-year period. The improvement in object naming was attributed to better use of non-contour-bas...
متن کاملAre Fear Memories Made and Maintained by the Same NMDA Receptor-Dependent Mechanisms?
A recent finding indicates that inducible knockout of the NR1 NMDA receptor subunit promotes the loss of fear memories formed months earlier. One view is that posttraining NMDA receptor activation protects modified synapses from "synaptic drift." An alternative view is that NMDA receptors help maintain appropriate connectivity in memory-encoding networks.
