Memory: varieties and mechanisms
Memory phases, processes, systems, and tasks (p. 245-248)
Learning & memory
• Learning: whenever experience or interaction with the environment results in changes in behavior
• Memory: the complete collection of experiences that has been stored in our brain
Neural principal of learning
Long-Term Potentiation (LTP): long-lasting increase in communication between neurons.
Long-Term Depression (LTD): long-lasting decrease in communication between neurons.
Pre-synaptic (more/less neurotransmitter release), post-synaptic (more/less sensitive),
structural changes (more/less points of contact).
3 important steps in learning and memory
