X-Message-Number: 5144 Date: Thu, 9 Nov 1995 09:34:15 -0800 (PST) From: Joseph Strout <> Subject: memory mechanisms reviewed in Science FYI, the Nov. 3 issue of Science has two excellent (IMHO) reviews of the mechanisms of long-term memory. One [1] describes memory on a physiological level, and also gives some insights into the general organization of cortex; the other [2] discusses the location of long-term memories (both declarative and non-declarative) in various regions of cortex on a more general level. (There are two other neuroscience articles in the same issue which I find interesting, but might have a more limited audience.) Definately worth a browse. [1] Singer, W. Development and plasticity of cortical processing architectures. Science 270, p. 758-764. [2] Ungerleider, L. Functional brain imaging studies of cortical mechanisms for memory.
