Memory is fundamental
inextricable, descriptive, predictive, hopefully cohesive

Search of Associative Memory
Associative network model
“Memory images” are either active or inactive
Can activate others based on weight of connections

The Hippocampus
Bilateral limbic structures in the medial temporal lobe
Patient HM: damage to MTL → lost consolidation and working memory, but retained some LTM
Hippocampal Formation (HF): Dentate Gyrus (DG), CA1-CA2-CA3 complex, and subiculum
Parahippocampal Gyrus: presubiculum, entorhinal cortex (EC), perirhinal cortex, and postrhinal cortex

Connectivity
EC: cortical input/output structure
◉ Perirhinal Ctx → EC→ HF : codes for spatial information (place cells)
◉ Postrhinal Ctx → EC → HF: codes for nonspatial
DG:
◉ receives input from the cortex and projects to CA3◉ sparse connectivity (granule cells)
CA3:
◉ Full of recurrent connections, forming its own network
CA1:
◉ Fewer neurons relative to CA3◉ Relays information from CA3 back to afferent regions in the
cortex via the EC
![Page 9: Consolidation and Memory Prior Knowledge · 4/4/2019 · perirhinal cortex, and postrhinal cortex ... receives input from the cortex and projects to CA3 sparse connectivity (granule](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050120/5f50c81511b0a64c0b3be1f3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Pattern Separation and Pattern Completion
DG: Pattern Separation
packages input and retains segregation
◉ Sensory input arrives from EC, dispersed onto granule cells
→ Redundancy reduced
◉ Output becomes orthogonalized (non-overlapping)
CA3: Pattern Completion
takes orthogonal input and compares it to stored patterns
◉ Partial activation of a strong CA3 network can activate the rest of the network
◉ Impoverished stimuli gravitate towards stable states (attractors)
CA1: strong enough CA3 representations elicit response in corresponding CA1 network
◉ More neurons relative to CA3 → creates redundancy and robustness (less sensitive to noise)
◉ Relays “memory traces” back to afferent regions
Trade-off between gist (pattern-completed) and detail (pattern-separated) memory
How?

SMSCStandard Model of Systems Consolidation
◉ Hippocampus only necessary in initial transfer of information
◉ MTL no longer needed after “migration to the cortex”
Models of Consolidation
MTTMultiple Trace Theory
◉ Argues for continued interaction between cortex and MTL in encoding and retrieval
◉ Each instance of recalling or experiencing a stimulus creates a new memory trace
Role of hippocampus in resulting cortical memory traces?

Competitive Trace Theory
4
◉ Hippocampus is an index◉ Unifies input, not the site of
memory storage◉ 2 processes after binding a
memory trace:○ Consolidation○ Decontextualization
◉ Orthogonal traces cause anti-Hebbian competition
→ more exposures → more gist-based
Reagh and Yassa (2014)Hypothesis: repeated exposures to a stimulus will be detrimental to detail memory
Findings: Confirmed hypothesis; subjects more likely to confuse similar lures and targets when stimuli are repeated three times vs once
![Page 13: Consolidation and Memory Prior Knowledge · 4/4/2019 · perirhinal cortex, and postrhinal cortex ... receives input from the cortex and projects to CA3 sparse connectivity (granule](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050120/5f50c81511b0a64c0b3be1f3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Finally… my comps:
The Effect of Cortical Schemas on Memory Trace Competition
5
A follow-up of Reagh and Yassa (2014) that seeks to expand CTT to account memory traces of novel stimuli.
Schemas: related cortical representations in an associative network◉ Allows for systematic search
during retrieval◉ Assists in consolidation;
allows for alteration of synaptic weights
Hypothesis: encoding nonschematic stimuli is more cognitively laborious, and recognition will take more exposures
butI expect to see a competitive effect after a threshold number of repetitions
![Page 14: Consolidation and Memory Prior Knowledge · 4/4/2019 · perirhinal cortex, and postrhinal cortex ... receives input from the cortex and projects to CA3 sparse connectivity (granule](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050120/5f50c81511b0a64c0b3be1f3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

The TaskStudy Phase
60 distinct itemsPress a, s, or d for density rating
Test Phase
79 test items: 30 targets, 30 lures, 19 foils. Counterbalanced.
Target Bin 1 Lure(most difficult)
Bin 2 Lure(less difficult)
Novel Foil
Repeated 1x, 3x, or 6x

The Task
![Page 16: Consolidation and Memory Prior Knowledge · 4/4/2019 · perirhinal cortex, and postrhinal cortex ... receives input from the cortex and projects to CA3 sparse connectivity (granule](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050120/5f50c81511b0a64c0b3be1f3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
◉ Discrimination (correct lure rejections) strongest for 3-repetition, weak in 1 and 6
◉ Recognition (correct target acceptances) strongest for 6-repetition
◉ Both facilitated in Bin 2 lures
Predictions
schemas used in this task are weakly bound
Cortical inputs enter through EC → pattern separation in DG → pattern completion in CA3 → mental representation
Celtic knots don’t gravitate towards any strong attractor, so perhaps more detail is preserved compared to Reagh and Yassa (2014)
but orthogonalization still causes trace competition
