For example, according to physicalism, it would seem to be a conceptual possibility that qualia are identical, not with neural properties, but with a combination of neural properties and phases of the Moon, while memory traces depend only on neural properties.
Identity rests on the continuity provided by memory, and memory depends on turning experience into narrative.
Thus, nonassociative gating operates like a Boolean toggle switch that may turn the memory trace on or off depending on the logic value of the command signal.
The strength of the memory trace at the time of reinforcement depends on the attention originally allocated, the number of competing states, and the relative salience of each of the ensemble of traces.
Hence, the MMN may depend on a memory trace formed by preceding stimuli; i.e., during the presentation of the standard events.
This view assumes that while RR depends on differential decay of the memory trace (cf. [15 17]), OIC stems from differences in associative activation of the memory trace [18,20 23,28 30], and both processes may contribute to SOR performance.
According to this view, RR depends on differential decay of the memory trace (cf. [15 17]), while OIC results from differences in the degree to which it is associatively activated [18,20 23,28 30].
By contrast, in preC mice, neurons responding to context C during pre-exposure were not preferentially activated by the subsequent test in context A, suggesting that recall-induced preferential reactivation of the CA1 neuron population involved in memory formation depended on retrieval of the same memory trace.
On the basis of these previous reports and the present work, we propose that extinction of long-term memories depends upon the inhibition of the transcriptional machinery engaged during the original memory trace consolidation.
Irrespective of any potential contribution of failures to encode or consolidate a memory trace of the sound, the present findings clearly demonstrate that the subjective experience of noticing a sound depends on the level of visual perceptual load in the task being undertaken.
