BACKGROUND The idea that memory is stored as enduring changes in the brain dates
back at least to the time of Plato and Aristotle (circa 350 BCE), but its scientific articulation …

The reactivation of a stored memory in the brain can make the memory transiently labile.
During the time it takes for the memory to restabilize (reconsolidate) the memory can either …

The formation and retrieval of a memory is thought to be accomplished by activation and
reactivation, respectively, of the memory-holding cells (engram cells) by a common set of …

The γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) system plays a pivotal role in orchestrating the
synchronicity of local networks and the functional coupling of different brain regions. Here …

Detecting novelty is critical to consolidate declarative memories, such as spatial contextual
recognition memory. It has been shown that stored memories, when retrieved, are …

Most studies on memory consolidation consider the new information as if it were imposed on
a tabula rasa, but considerable evidence indicates that new memories must be interleaved …

Synapses between neurons are malleable biochemical structures, strengthening and
diminishing over time dependent on the type of information they receive. This phenomenon …

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), characterized by abnormally persistent and
distressing memories, is a chronic debilitating condition in need of new treatment options …

Memories are not static imprints of past experience, but rather are dynamic entities which
enable us to predict outcomes of future situations and inform appropriate behaviours. In …

The ability to make predictions based on stored information is a general coding strategy. A
Prediction-Error (PE) is a mismatch between expected and current events. It was proposed …
