Hippocampal Network Mechanisms of Memory Consolidation - Azahara Oliva (Cornell)

Explore hippocampal network mechanisms of memory consolidation in this conference talk by Azahara Oliva from Cornell University. Recorded as part of the Timescales of Plasticity and Underlying Mechanisms conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, delve into the long-standing question of timescales in the neurobiology of learning. Examine how the brain associates events separated by varying time intervals, from seconds to weeks, despite synaptic changes typically occurring within milliseconds. Gain insights into the molecular, cellular, and circuit-level mechanisms used by the brain to bridge multiple timescales in individual experiences. Discover how this talk contributes to assembling an up-to-date understanding of biological mechanisms supporting associative learning across different timescales, complementing the conference's computational focus with an emphasis on biological mechanisms.
