So excited to see you! Visual object-in-place learning increases neuronal excitability in lateral entorhinal cortex engram cells

Memories are thought to be stored as material changes occurring in sparse, widely distributed populations of neurons known as engrams. This neural plasticity is theorised to promote re-activation of this network of engram cells upon re-exposure to relevant cues, thus leading to memory retrieval. Significant evidence exists to support this theory in relation to highly aversive or rewarding experiences, however less evidence exists to support the existence of engrams for day-to-day learning experiences. Here we used TRAP2 mice to characterize expression patterns and plasticity in neurons activat
