How Memories are Consolidated - A Layered View of Systems

How are experiences represented in neuronal activity? And how does it work that the developing brainstates – the so called memory consolidation – are maintained over time so that we can remember them? In short: how does memory work? This is what Matthew Larkum and his colleague are investigatingas part of a project in Collaborative Research Center 1315. Together they provide an overview of the current state of knowledge on learning and memory and report on their multi- layered view of the systems involved. Moderated by Jochen Müller.
