{"pk":32333,"title":"A Model of Rapid Memory Formation in the Hippocampal System","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Our ability to remember events and situations in our daily life demonstrates our ability to rapidly acquire new memories. There is a broad consensus that the hippocampal system (HS) plays a critical role in the formation and retrieval of such memories. A computational model is described that demonstrates how the HS may rapidly transform a transient pattern of activity representing an event or a situation into a persistent stuctural encoding via long-term potentiation and long-term depression.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Long Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1df1648j","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Lokendra","middle_name":"","last_name":"Shastri","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Computer Science, Tokyo Institute of Technology","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1997-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/32333/galley/23398/download/"}]}
