Molecular Basis Of Memory

Molecular Basis of Memory

This special volume of Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science provides a current overview of how memory is processed in the brain. A broad range of topics are presented by leaders in the field, ranging from brain circuitry to synaptic plasticity to the molecular machinery that contributes to the brain's ability to maintain information across time. Memory systems in the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and amygdala are considered as well. In addition, the volume covers recent contributions to our understanding of memory from in vivo imaging, optogenetic, electrophysiological, biochemical and molecular biological studies. - Articles from world renowned experts in memory - Covering topics from signaling, epigenetic, RNA translation to plasticity - Methodological approaches include molecular and cellular, behavioral, electrophysiological, optogenetic and functional imaging

'Sweatt has done a superb and scholarly job of telling the story of this field.' - Howard Eichenbaum, Editor in Chief Hippocampus, Boston University 'It is definitely worth publishing a second edition. David is a leader in the field. the book is well written and has lots of nice figures making it easy to teach from.' - Daniel Johnston, Director, Center for Learning and Memory; Director, Institute for Neuroscience, University of Texas at Austin Sweatt is an outstanding writer and conveyer of complex concepts. He engages readers with lots of examples and detailed explanations for the most diffic
