  5. 4. Neocortex information processing after stroke induction

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Anders Wahlbom; [2016]
    Keywords : Neocortex; Stroke; Information Processing; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : How the brain processes all the incoming information it receives is still an unanswered question, and many different theories about how it is done exist. This thesis expands on one of these theories which views the brain's information processing as a widely distributed network phenomena, which contradicts the currently most popular hierarchical theory consisting of areas dedicated to processing specific types of information in a hierarchical manner.

  6. 5. The hippocampal dependence of long-term declarative memory

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Rodrigo Alvarez Svahn; [2015]
    Keywords : hippocampus; retrograde amnesia; standard consolidation model; multiple-trace theory; distributed reinstatement theory;

    Abstract : Investigations into the neural correlates of memory have found the hippocampus to be a crucial structure for long-term declarative memories, but the exact nature of this contribution remains under debate. This paper covers three theories concerned with how the hippocampus is involved in long-term memory, namely the Standard Consolidation Model, the Multiple-Trace Theory, and the Distributed Reinstatement Theory.
