Structural Components of Synaptic Plasticity and Memory Consolidation.
Consolidation of implicit memory in the invertebrate Aplysia and explicit memory in the mammalian hippocampus are associated with remodeling and growth of preexisting synapses and the formation of new synapses. Here, we compare and contrast structural components of the synaptic plasticity that underlies these two distinct forms of memory. In both cases, the structural changes involve time-depen...
متن کاملMemory Capacities for Synaptic and Structural Plasticity
Neural associative networks with plastic synapses have been proposed as computational models of brain functions and also for applications such as pattern recognition and information retrieval. To guide biological models and optimize technical applications, several definitions of memory capacity have been used to measure the efficiency of associative memory. Here we explain why the currently use...
متن کاملmRNA at Synapses, Synaptic Plasticity, and Memory Consolidation
Miller et al. (this issue of Neuron) report that deletion of the 3'UTR of alpha-CaMKII mRNA prevents dendritic delivery of the mRNA in transgenic mice and thus local synthesis of alpha-CaMKII protein in dendrites. 3'UTR mutant mice exhibit decreases in alpha-CaMKII protein in postsynaptic densities, and deficits in late phase LTP and in memory consolidation.
متن کاملReversible Plasticity of Fear Memory-Encoding Amygdala Synaptic Circuits Even after Fear Memory Consolidation
It is generally believed that after memory consolidation, memory-encoding synaptic circuits are persistently modified and become less plastic. This, however, may hinder the remaining capacity of information storage in a given neural circuit. Here we consider the hypothesis that memory-encoding synaptic circuits still retain reversible plasticity even after memory consolidation. To test this, we...
متن کاملSleep and the Price of Plasticity: From Synaptic and Cellular Homeostasis to Memory Consolidation and Integration
Sleep is universal, tightly regulated, and its loss impairs cognition. But why does the brain need to disconnect from the environment for hours every day? The synaptic homeostasis hypothesis (SHY) proposes that sleep is the price the brain pays for plasticity. During a waking episode, learning statistical regularities about the current environment requires strengthening connections throughout t...
