A Parallel Processing Hypothesis for Short-Term and Long-Term Memory in Aplysia

Abstract

The primary focus of this program of research is a mechanistic analysis of the relationship between short-term and long-term information processing in central neural circuits of the marine mollusc Aplysia. During the last year we have completed several projects in this program; these projects fall into two broad classes which focus on facilitatory and, more recently, inhibitory information processing. We have identified several forms of behaviorally relevant cellular and circuit modifications which involve both facilitatory and inhibitory information processing. Our goal for the current year is to analyze each of these processes mechanistically, and determine their interaction in both short-term and long-term storage of information in identified neural networks.
