Direct retrieval from elaborated memory traces

Elaborated spaced-retrieval and prospective memory in mild Alzheimer's disease.

Prospective memory, or the timely remembering of a planned action, is conceptualised as a cognitive process demanding episodic memory and executive attention. Impairments in these skills are characteristic of the cognitive decline in early Alzheimer's disease, providing an expectation of prominent prospective memory difficulties in this population, and yet surprisingly, memory performance in ea...

Traces of Drosophila Memory

Studies using functional cellular imaging of living flies have identified six memory traces that form in the olfactory nervous system after conditioning with odors. These traces occur in distinct nodes of the olfactory nervous system, form and disappear across different windows of time, and are detected in the imaged neurons as increased calcium influx or synaptic release in response to the con...

Tracing Subliminal Memory Traces

Memory traces unbound.

The idea that new memories are initially 'labile' and sensitive to disruption before becoming permanently stored in the wiring of the brain has been dogma for >100 years. Recently, we have revisited the hypothesis that reactivation of a consolidated memory can return it to a labile, sensitive state - in which it can be modified, strengthened, changed or even erased! The data generated from some...

A Framework for Interactive Mining and Retrieval from Process Traces

Processes are everywhere. We can find processes in hospital, companies, universities, institutions and so on. Therefore, it is no surprise that the usage of information systems and enterprise resource planning tools has been rapidly growing in organizations and companies worldwide, of all kinds and sizes. The sequences (traces) of actions that have been completed at an organization is usually s...
