Topic: memory retention

Through the process of reconsolidation, consolidated memories can be reactivated and temporarily labialized, allowing them to be updated in strength and content. In the framework of reconsolidation, a prediction error (PE) is proposed as the key mechanism that triggers the process. Generally speaking, a PE is a mismatch between expected (based on prior experience) and current events. Previous associative memory reconsolidation studies show that incomplete reminders (IR) are a subtype of prediction error that strengthen memory trace. These reminders consist in an incomplete trial that ends abru

Synaptic plasticity is thought to underlie learning and memory [1]. Plasticity rules can be active in different synaptic connection types, such as excitatory-excitatory (EE) and inhibitory-excitatory (IE) connections, with in silico and experimental evidence suggesting distinct mechanisms for each type [2,3,4]. While the interaction between connection types in learning and memory is an active research focus [5], studies typically probe only one type of plasticity at a time. Thus, at scale, the contributions of connection types and their co-active plasticity rules to memory processes remain unc
