Chapter 16, Problem 9RQ
Summary Introduction
To identify:
The cellular mechanisms that are involved in memory formation and storage.
Concept introduction:
Memory refers to the bits of information that has been gathered through experience and stored in the brain. The memories are of two types, short term memories and long term memories. The memory is a higher order function of the brain.

What process distinguishes a shortterm memory from a long-term one?
What is Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)? What connection does it have to exercise, nature and cellphones?
What are the three temporal stores for memory? Why does neuroscience see fit to add a fourth store (that we call "remote" memory)? What seems to be the difference between permanent and non-permanent forms of memory? Think about the neural substrates involved and how the brain "handles" these memories.
