  1. 6. Role of Context in Episodic Memory : A Bayesian-Hebbian Neural Network Model of Episodic Recall

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Rohan Raj; [2022]
    Keywords : episodic memory; long-term memory; Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Network; synaptic plasticity; plasticity modulation; computational neuroscience;

    Abstract : Episodic memory forms a fundamental aspect of human memory that accounts for the storage of events as well as the spatio-temporal relations between events during a lifetime. These spatio-temporal relations in which episodes are embedded can be understood as their contexts. Contexts play a crucial role in episodic memory retrieval. READ MORE

  3. 7. Mapping the encoding of innate versus learned aversive threat in the amygdala.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Shubhangi Das Barman; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The amygdala is essential in the process of learned aversive signals. Its implication in processing an innately aversive threat remains to be decoded. This implies asking questions on how a learned and an innate aversive threat is processed. READ MORE

  4. 8. Whole-Cell Patch Clamp Investigations on Rapid Synaptic Scaling of Mouse CA1 Pyramidal Neurons under Optogenetic Stimulation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Author : Leonard Groth; [2021]
    Keywords : Patch clamp; Electrophysiology; Optogenetics; Epilepsy; Voltage clamp; Current clamp; Neuroscience; Applied Biochemistry; Tillämpad biokemi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The brain consists of billions of neurons forming intricate contiguous networks. The connective strength in these networks change throughout life in response to experience and environmental stimuli. READ MORE

  5. 9. Attractor Neural Network modelling of the Lifespan Retrieval Curve

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Patrícia Pereira; [2020]
    Keywords : reminiscence bump; attractor neural network; Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Network BCPNN ; recency; synaptic plasticity; episodic memory; ”reminiscence bump”; attraktorneuronnät; Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Network BCPNN ; nysseffekt; synaptisk plasticitet; episodiskt mine.;

    Abstract : Human capability to recall episodic memories depends on how much time has passed since the memory was encoded. This dependency is described by a memory retrieval curve that reflects an interesting phenomenon referred to as a reminiscence bump - a tendency for older people to recall more memories formed during their young adulthood than in other periods of life.

  6. 10. THE NEURODEGENERATION PROCESS IN THE STRIATUM OF MICE EXPOSED TO OBESOGENIC DIETS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Ankita Talukdar; [2020]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Obesity and diabetes are known to impact brain function and alter metabolism. Studies in rodents show that consumption of high fat and high sugar diets lead to brain dysfunction affecting memory and cognition, and increases risk of cerebro-vascular and neurodegenerative disorders.
