Lecture

Memory Encoding and Neuroplasticity

Description

This lecture covers the process of memory encoding, from sensory memory to long-term memory, including the role of attention, rehearsal, and retrieval. It also delves into the biology of memory, focusing on neuronal plasticity, synaptic connections, and long-term potentiation. The instructor discusses the different types of memory, such as explicit and implicit memory, and their respective characteristics. Furthermore, the lecture explores the impact of lesions on memory, neuroimaging techniques, and the role of various brain regions in memory formation. Clinical cases like Clive Wearing's amnesia are presented to illustrate memory disorders and their effects on daily life.
