Theoretical and Experimental Research into Biological Mechanisms Underlying Learning and Memory

Abstract

This is written to provide a semi-annual progress report for the contract N00014-91-J-1316 entitled 'Theoretical and Experimental Research into Biological Mechanisms Underlying Learning and Memory.' The major goal of our research is to elucidate the biological mechanisms that underlie learning and memory: to find principles of organization that can account both for experimental data on the cellular level and, when applied to large numbers of neurons that receive sensory and/or interneuronal information, for various higher level system properties. Among our detailed objectives are the following: to clarify the dependence of learning on synaptic modification, to elucidate the principles that govern synapse formation or modification, to use principles of organization that can account for observations on a cellular level to construct neural-like systems that can learn, associate and reproduce such higher level cognitive acts as abstraction and computation
