RESEARCH ABSTRACT SUMMARY:

Eric Kandel's lab is studying examples of the major forms of memory storage. The lab is studying explicit memory storage (the conscious recall of information about people, places, and objects) in mice and implicit memory storage (the unconscious recall of perceptual and motor skills) in the snail Aplysia. In Aplysia, the lab has focused on the implicit memory for sensitization, a simple form of learned fear, and the mechanisms for achieving synapse-specific anatomical changes. In mice, they have examined the synaptic mechanisms contributing to memory for space, a complex form of explicit memory storage.
