My MIT colleague Susumu Tonegawa's group did something very clever; they engineered mice so that neurons that are involved with memory become light-activatable.
In support of the proposal that the amygdala may be involved with episodic emotional memory processing, it has been shown that the severity of structural amygdala abnormality in MTLE patients predicts mnemonic impairments related to emotional stimuli [Richardson et al., 2004], i.e., a loss of the usual long-term memory advantage for emotional relative to neutral stimuli.
The expressions of Leonardo protein that is known to be involved with the formation of olfactory learning and memory structures at late developmental stages in only queen larvae suggests the beginning of the formation of these important structures to equip the future queen with the sensory cells necessary for scent recognition and learning abilities [9], [23].
(Compared with most humans, for instance, taxicab drivers have brains that have larger areas that are involved with spatial memory).
The mean amplitude of θ power during ISI was not greater than the mean θ power during SPI, thus suggesting that θ oscillations are involved with perceptual and memory encoding processing common to both verbal and nonverbal tasks.
Perhaps I missed it, but I wonder if the same enzymes are involved with the natural loss of memory associated with aging.
The precuneus is involved with visuospatial processing [ 60– 62], episodic memory [ 63], reflections upon self [ 64, 65], and awareness and conscious information processing [ 66, 67].
We were involved with real life issues, not just academics". Ms. Washington's time at SSA is filled with good memories that helped advance her career.
Perhaps the Hox genes are involved with chromatin modification, which creates a 'memory' for the future fates, even when the gene is no longer expressed [ 104].
