Memory engrams: Recalling the past and imagining the future

SA Josselyn, S Tonegawa - Science, 2020 - science.org
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 …

Engram neurons: Encoding, consolidation, retrieval, and forgetting of memory
