HBP Curriculum: Interdisciplinary Brain Science | Neurobiology for non-specialists - Advanced | 4th Teaching Cycle Lecture 3: Learning and memory: Basic concepts and medical implications Speaker: Nicolas Singewald, University of Innsbruck, Austria In this lecture, we begin with defining learning and memory. Important memory processes, including attention, encoding, consolidation, storage, retrieval and forgetting will be considered. Different types of memory stores will be introduced and discussed, as well as the value of animal models of learning and memory for cognitive neuroscience. General methods to enhance memory, followed by the current status in the development of novel therapeutic strategies for cognitive impairments, e.g. cognitive enhancers, will be highlighted. Finally, important memory disorders will be discussed. Visit our HBP Curriculum: Interdisciplinary Brain Science website: https://www.humanbrainproject.eu/en/e...
