Stepwise Synaptic Plasticity Events Drive the Early Phase of Memory Consolidation

Explore a 40-minute conference talk by Yasunori Hayashi from Kyoto University on the early phase of memory consolidation and synaptic plasticity. Delve into the neurobiology of learning and the timescales involved in associating events in the brain. Examine how neural events occurring within milliseconds can lead to long-term memory formation. Discover the molecular, cellular, and circuit-level mechanisms that bridge multiple timescales in individual experiences. Gain insights into the biological processes supporting associative learning across various time frames. Recorded as part of the Timescales of Plasticity and Underlying Mechanisms conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, this talk contributes to an integrated analysis of statistical learning spanning molecular, cellular, circuit, and behavioral-level phenomena.
