A dynamic attractor network model of memory formation, reinforcement and forgetting

Wulfram Gerstner, Chiara Gastaldi

Empirical evidence shows that memories that are frequently revisited are easy to recall, and that familiar items involve larger hippocampal representations than less familiar ones. In line with these observations, here we develop a modelling approach to pr ...

KNNs of Semantic Encodings for Rating Prediction

Léo Jules Laugier

This paper explores a novel application of textual semantic similarity to user-preference representation for rating prediction. The approach represents a user's preferences as a graph of textual snippets from review text, where the edges are defined by sem ...

The HDAC inhibitor CI-994 acts as a molecular memory aid by facilitating synaptic and intracellular communication after learning

Johannes Gräff, Jose Vicente Sanchez Mut, Giulia Santoni, Allison Marie Burns

Long-term memory formation relies on synaptic plasticity, neuronal activity-dependent gene transcription, and epigenetic modifications. Multiple studies have shown that HDAC inhibitor (HDACi) treatments can enhance individual aspects of these processes and ...

Hypothalamic pregnenolone mediates recognition memory in the context of metabolic disorders

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Ioannis Zalachoras

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are associated with cognitive dysfunction. Because the hypothalamus is implicated in energy balance control and memory disorders, we hypothesized that specific neurons in this brain region are at the interface of metabolism and ...

Epigenetic memory aids: Synaptic and molecular effects of HDAC inhibition that support memory formation

Allison Marie Burns

Learning and memory rely on synaptic communication in which intracellular signals are transported to the nucleus to stimulate transcriptional activation. Memory induced transcriptional increases are accompanied by alterations to the epigenetic landscape an ...

Brain-wide screen of prelimbic cortex inputs reveals a functional shift during early fear memory consolidation

Johannes Gräff, Lucie Pauline Dixsaut

Memory formation and storage rely on multiple interconnected brain areas, the contribution of which varies during memory consolidation. The medial prefrontal cortex, in particular the prelimbic cortex (PL), was traditionally found to be involved in remote ...

Where does the engram come from? Study of prefrontal cortex inputs during memory consolidation

Lucie Pauline Dixsaut

The formation and storage of memories has been under deep investigation for several decades. Nevertheless, the precise contribution of each brain region involved in this process and the interplay between them across memory consolidation is still largely de ...

Modulation of working memory duration by synaptic and astrocytic mechanisms

Sophia Becker

Short-term synaptic plasticity and modulations of the presynaptic vesicle release rate are key components of many working memory models. At the same time, an increasing number of studies suggests a potential role of astrocytes in modulating higher cognitiv ...

From C/C plus plus Code to High-Performance Dataflow Circuits

Paolo Ienne, Andrea Guerrieri, Lana Josipovic

High-level synthesis (HLS) tools typically generate statically scheduled datapaths. Static scheduling implies that the resulting circuits have a hard time exploiting parallelism in code with potential memory dependences, with control dependences, or where ...

La mémoire collective et l'espace. Traces, récits et expériences autour d'un paysage urbain romain

Lucia Bordone

This PhD thesis explores the way multiple and tenuous links connect collective memory and space in the contemporary city. It does so through a field enquiry carried out in Rome, Italy. This palimpsest-city has a particular relationship to the past, which c ...

Social Representations of Mexico City Historic Center: Heritage and Controversial Memories

Lesslie Astrid Herrera Quiroz

In this paper, we present the results of a research project that deals with the controversial memories of historic urban landscapes that have been designated as World Heritage sites by UNESCO. We observe - through the study of social representations of Mex ...

Successive Refinement to Caching for Dynamic Requests

Michael Christoph Gastpar

In the celebrated coded caching problem studied by Maddah-Ali and Niesen, the peak-traffic network load is to be reduced by first caching some information about contents into individual memories of end users during the off-peak hours and then upon user req ...

Constitutive differences in glucocorticoid responsiveness are related to divergent spatial information processing abilities

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Simone Astori, Damien Sébastien Huzard

The stress response facilitates survival through adaptation and is intimately related to cognitive processes. The Morris water maze task probes spatial learning and memory in rodents and glucocorticoids (i.e. corticosterone (CORT) in rats) have been sugges ...

Reactivation of Recall-Induced Neurons in the Infralimbic Cortex and the Basolateral Amygdala After Remote Fear Memory Attenuation

Johannes Gräff, Ossama Mohamed Salah El-Dien El-Sayed Ibrahim Khalaf

Whether the attenuation of traumatic memories is mediated through the suppression of the original memory trace of fear by a new memory trace of safety, or through an updating of the original fear trace towards safety has been a long-standing question at th ...

A Novel Centralized Strategy for Coded Caching with Non-uniform Demands

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Saeid Sahraei, Pierre Victor Xavier Quinton

Despite significant progress in the caching literature concerning the worst case and uniform average case regimes, the algorithms for caching with nonuniform demands are still at a basic stage and mostly rely on simple grouping and memory-sharing technique ...

In the pursuit of the fear engram: identification of neuronal circuits underlying the treatment of anxiety disorder

Ossama Mohamed Salah El-Dien El-Sayed Ibrahim Khalaf

Fear and other anxiety disorders are extraordinarily robust and difficult to treat. Among the most effective treatments for anxiety disorders are exposure-based therapies, during which a patient is repeatedly confronted with the originally fear-eliciting s ...

Diverse synaptic plasticity mechanisms orchestrated to form and retrieve memories in spiking neural networks

Wulfram Gerstner, Friedemann Zenke

Synaptic plasticity, the putative basis of learning and memory formation, manifests in various forms and across different timescales. Here we show that the interaction of Hebbian homosynaptic plasticity with rapid non-Hebbian heterosynaptic plasticity is, ...

Synaptic consolidation: from synapses to behavioral modeling

Wulfram Gerstner, Friedemann Zenke, Lorric Ziegler

Synaptic plasticity, a key process for memory formation, manifests itself across different time scales ranging from a few seconds for plasticity induction up to hours or even years for consolidation and memory retention. We developed a three-layered model ...

The advent of the Web reshaped the way in which humans memorize information, arguably unlike any other technological advance of the last decades. Rather than remembering the information itself, people are primed to find the needed information through Web s ...

Epigenetic Alterations in Alzheimer's Disease

Johannes Gräff, Jose Vicente Sanchez Mut

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the major cause of dementia in Western societies. It progresses asymptomatically during decades before being belatedly diagnosed when therapeutic strategies have become unviable. Although several genetic alterations have been as ...
