Investigating the recruitment of parvalbumin and somatostatin interneurons into engrams for associative recognition memory
Lucinda Hamilton-Burns, Clea Warburton, Gareth Barker · FENS Forum 2024
The panic of losing your car in the carpark captures the importance of associative recognition memory, i.e. the ability to identify something as familiar, along with where and when it was last seen. However, the neuronal networks underpinning this memory are only just being identified. Effectively modelled through object-in-place (OIP) tasks, associative recognition memory can be represented by the time mice spend exploring novel compared to familiar objects and configurations. During learning, active neurons are recruited into neuronal ensembles making an engram, the neural representation of
