Genetic and electrophysiology experiments provide the first direct evidence that protein kinase C is a calcium-sensing protein in post-tetanic potentiation, a form of synaptic plasticity that supports short-term memory.

High-frequency stimulation of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, which enhances memory and hippocampal neurogenesis, is a novel target for treatment of dementia-related diseases.

Computational modeling of a central decision neuron of Drosophila reveals an electrotonically compact architecture that is ideally suited to support efficient memory storage within a stochastically connected memory circuit.

A theory of memory consolidation illustrates the benefits of communication between short- and long-term memory systems to prioritize the storage of reliable memories.

A compact neural network can form various associative memories that are encoded in a distributed manner, where each neuron stores different components of the memory.

Modelling differential roles for identified dopaminergic and output neurons of the fruit fly mushroom bodies, combined with a novel dopaminergic plasticity rule, explains neural and behavioural phenomena in olfactory learning tasks.

Bilateral removal of cortical area 'TE' produced deficits in monkeys' ability to discriminate among images with many similar features, whereas removal of subjacent rhinal cortex did not.

High-resolution fMRI data reveal an often-neglected contribution of the medial temporal lobe circuitry to item-specific representation in visual working memory, suggesting the mechanism traditionally deemed dedicated to long-term memory can be exploited to support the quality of human working memory.

Persistent activity of dopaminergic neurons in a mushroom recurrent circuit lays the foundation for courtship memory in Drosophila.

Visual information can be maintained in non-conscious working memory for several seconds via short-term changes in synaptic weights.
