Memory is coded by patterns of neural activity in distinct circuits. Therefore, it should be possible to reverse engineer a memory by artificially creating these patterns of activity in the absence of a sensory
However, during memory reactivation, the CS is presented in the absence of the US and thus provides an opportunity for PE. Prediction error or some other form of explicit novelty at the time of reactivation appears to be a necessary condition for memory destabilization, as studies suggest that ...
35. Unpredictable aspects of experience need to be stored in detail for further learning, while fully predicted aspects do not, consistent with the idea that memory helps to predict the future36,37,38,39. We suggest that familiar components...
the sharing of experiences with others linguistically. According to this argument, the lack of early memories is not the result of basic structural changes in the memory system with development, but due to the absence of abstract knowledge structures for describing the temporal and causal sequences...
“Maybe the smell of the sun lotion, or a particular sound from that day, or the sight of a rock formation.” Or – in the case of an early hunter and gatherer (out on a plain – the sight of a lion might be enough...

Moreover, on the 29th of April 1945, Loreto Square hosted the public display of the corpses of Benito Mussolini, his mistress Claretta Petacci and 18 high-ranking fascists, who were hung upside-down from the roof of an Esso petrol station. The absence of any interpretative sign or memorial...

A survey of policies adopted across Europe to organize literature lessons in primary schools reveals two major approaches to canon formation. While some school systems allow much freedom, leaving the decision of selecting class readings to educators and pupils, others follow the long-established pattern...
The mechanism of memory remains one of the great unsolved problems of biology. Grappling with the question more than a hundred years ago, the German zoologist Richard Semon formulated the concept of the engram, lasting connections in the brain that resul
