Description
Recent advances in experimental technology have attracted to the study of
memory many researchers who were engaged in other research fields.
Thus, memory research is steadily advancing. Leading researchers from around the world attended the above mentioned symposium, presenting
the concepts and results of their neurobiological research into memory. Scientific study concerning when, where and how memory is established
has been studied for only a century. The ultimate goal of the research provided in this book has been to understand the processes of
memory in humans.
Contents
Preface.
Pharmacology.
Pharmacological study on neural mechanisms underlying working memory in the hippocampus of rats (S. Watanabe,
M. Ohno). Involvement of hippocampal glutamatergic system in short-term memory (K. Ishikawa et al.). Long-term potentiation and neuromodulator-
and hormone-mediated processes play a role in declarative memory (I. Izquierdo, J.H. Medina). Interaction of emotionally activated neuromodulatory
systems in regulating memory storage (B. Roozendaal, L. Cahill, J.L. McGaugh). Stress, stress hormones, and the behavioral neurobiology
of brain plasticity (B. Bohus et al.).
Biochemistry.
Molecular processes in the transition from short to long-term memory
(S.P.R. Rose). Intrinsic molecular determinants of memory storage: protein kinase C phosphorylation of growth protein F1/GAP-43 (A. Routtenberg).
The role of glutamate receptor regulation in memory processes (M. Baudry, X. Bi, G. Tocco). Role of GABAB receptors in thalamic
and hippocampal functions (Y. Ito et al.).
Human Memory.
Memory in young and old adults, and schizophrenic patients (T.
Oyama et al.). Cognitive and memory functions in a patient in α coma caused by pontomesencephalic lesion (Y. Katayama et al.).

Kashima, M. Kato). The organization of human memory: a neuropsychological analysis (A.P. Shimamura).
Physiology.
Backward connection
from medial temporal lobe mediates the associative mnemonic code of inferotemporal neurons in the primate (M. Yasushi et al.).
Conjunctive multiple stimuli-encoding in the hippocampal formation of rats and monkeys (T. Ono et al.). The representation of
space in the primate hippocampus, and its role in memory (E.T. Rolls).
Molecular and Cellular Basis of Memory.

glutamate receptors in hippocampal neurons (S. Ozawa). LTP and abnormal hippocampal functions (N. Kawai et al.). LTD and depotentiation
in hippocampus (K. Ito et al.). Cerebellar long-term depression and motor learning: a study on mGluR1 mutant mice (M. Kano et
al.). Molecular basis of the cerebellar long-term depression (T. Hirano). Experimental analysis of behavior of Fyn-tyrosine kinase
deficient mice (H. Niki et al.).
Multiple Memory System.
A neural design for the cerebellar control of the primate vestibulo-ocular
and smooth pursuit eye movements (S. Nagao). Role of the medial frontal cortex in sequential procedural learning (O. Hikosaka et
al.). The effects of unilateral nigrostriatal dopamine depletion on learning and memory of sequential motor tasks in monkeys (N.
Matsumoto et al.). The role of the amygdala and the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus in emotional memory (H. Nishijo et al.).
Hippocampus in multiple memory processing (Y. Sakurai). Role of the human hippocampus in episodic memory (Y. Tanaka).
Role of Association
Cortex in Memory.
