Synchronous neural activity and memory formation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Accumulating evidence suggests that the synchronization of neuronal activity plays an important role in memory formation. In particular, several recent studies have demonstrated that enhanced synchronous activity within and among medial temporal lobe structures is correlated with increased memory performance in humans and animals. Modulations in rhythmic synchronization in the gamma-frequency (30-100 Hz) and theta-frequency (4-8 Hz) bands have been related to memory performance, and interesting relationships have been described between these oscillations that suggest a mechanism for inter-areal coupling. Neuronal synchronization has also been linked to spike timing-dependent plasticity, a cellular mechanism thought to underlie learning and memory. The available evidence suggests that neuronal synchronization modulates memory performance as well as potential cellular mechanisms of memory storage.

Synchronous and asynchronous theta and gamma activity during episodic memory formation.
To test the hypothesis that neural oscillations synchronize to mediate memory encoding, we analyzed electrocorticographic recordings taken as 68 human neurosurgical patients studied and subsequently recalled lists of common words. To the extent that changes in spectral power reflect synchronous oscillations, we would expect those power changes to be accompanied by increases in phase synchrony b...
متن کاملEarly and late consolidation and reconsolidation of memory in the prelimbic cortex
Rats can learn to forage among olfactory cues to associate one with reward in only 3 massed trials. The learning is achieved in less than 10 min and results in a memory trace lasting at least 1wk week. To study the neuro-anatomical circuits involved in the memory formation we used immunoreactivity to the immediate early gene c-fos as a marker for neuronal activity induced by the learning. The p...

متن کاملOscillatory Brain Activity as underlying Neural Mechanism of Human Memory
It has been proposed that associative learning is accomplished by the formation of cell assemblies and synchronousactivity among the neurons of such an assembly. Induced gamma band responses (GBRs) and phase synchrony betweenelectrode sites are discussed as a signature of activity within a cell assembly. To examine the activation of this networkdue to memory recall, a paired associa...

Although it has been hypothesized that neural oscillations synchronize to mediate memory formation, direct evidence linking oscillatory phase-synchrony to successful memory encoding is limited. Using electrocorticography (ECoG) recorded from 68 neurosurgical patients participating in a free recall task, we compared phase-synchrony and spectral power during successful versus unsuccessful encodin...
