Each time he sets the wheel spinning, the mind races, tracking memories of distinct images amid the whir.
Until now, there was no information regarding how these cells were involved in performing this computational process and which plasticity signals were required for successful storage of distinct memories of similar spatial representations.
An additional factor may be increasing competitive pressure from memory cells and a breakdown of distinct naive and memory cell compartments.
Much of the best recent work in economics, psychology and neuroscience has emphasized the degree to which we cannot be unbundled into distinct capabilities: into machine-like boxes of distinct memory, processing and output.
In addition, recently, the research community has shown great interest on exploiting the coexistence of distinct memory modalities in developing adaptive circuits that operate in radio frequencies (RFs)[16].
That is, the proposal is an exemplar-based model that "recognizes input and generates outputs by analogical evaluation across a lexicon of distinct memory traces of remembered tokens of speech" (Gahl & Yu, 2006: 213; see also Bod, 2009).
Upon repeated re-stimulation and differential instruction, they can develop a stable memory for the expression of distinct genes coding for cytokines, chemokines, adhesion molecules, and so on.
A speculative conclusion, and a hypothesis to be tested in future studies, is that changes in DA signaling mediate an impairment of distinct memory trace formation in the aging hippocampus.
Chadwick et al.'s findings suggest that the mental map may be highly flexible, allowing vast numbers of distinct memories to be stored within the same network of place cells without interference.
The research "supports the notion that social memory is a unique form of memory, biologically distinct from general object memory," he says.
