Bevan and colleagues have shown that although memory CD8+ T cells could be generated in the absence of CD4+ T cells, their numbers and the functionality of the memory cells diminished over time (Sun and Bevan, 2003; Sun et al, 2004) and that diminished function was apparent 30 days post-activation (Sun et al, 2004).
There are numerous excellent reviews of literatures that define the functionality of individual memory systems of the brains (e.g., Eichenbaum and Cohen, 2001; Tulving, 2002; Boyden et al., 2004; Colombo, 2004; Yin and Knowlton, 2006; Fuster, 2009; Kesner, 2009).
In a previous study, it was found that the shape memory functionality of a shape memory polymer based syntactic foam can be utilized to self-seal impact damage repeatedly, efficiently, and almost autonomously [Li G., John M., 2008. A self-healing smart syntactic foam under multiple impacts. Comp. Sci. Technol. 68(15 16), 3337 3343].
They are designed for modeling the functionality of static memories.
Inspired by the functionalities of human memory, we proposed a distributed network memory management system, termed NetMem, to efficiently store Internet data and extract and utilize traffic semantics in matching and prediction processes.
Our limited understanding of the level of protection provided by memory T cells is partly due to the fact that the functionality of effector and memory T cells is typically measured in vitro.
Increasing cortisol levels corresponded with decreasing temporal lobe size in these individuals, suggesting a direct link between physiological desynchronization and decreased functionality of short-term memory.
In a previous study [1], it has been proven that the confined shape recovery functionality of a shape memory polymer (SMP) based syntactic foam can be utilized to repair structural damage such as impact damage repeatedly, efficiently, and almost autonomously.
Wever et al. looked at the biocompatibility and functionality of this new Memory Metal Spinal System [ 23].
