Short-term plasticity influences episodic memory recall: an interplay of synaptic traces in a spiking neural network model

We investigated the interaction of episodic memory processes with the short-term dynamics of recency effects. This work takes inspiration from a seminal experimental work involving an odor-in-context ...

Parallel Pathway Leaves Long-Term Memory Unscathed Despite Short-Term Disruption in Mice

Using optogenetics techniques, scientists from Max Planck Florida Institute of Neuroscience identified a new pathway for forming long-term memories in the brain. Their findings suggest that long-term ...
