A. Semantic memoryB. Episodic memoryC. Implicit memory
Facts, meanings, concepts, symbols, abstract knowledge (frontal & temporal lobes)
Recall of events, chonological experiences. (hippocampus constructs a “memory” from the element)
Spatial memory remains in hippocampus, but distant memories involve neocortex.
Implicit memory is about procedures (knowing how to do it without recalling the learning experience)

Gai / Gao– inhibits AC - less cAMP
G β/γ – closes calcium channels
Gt / Ggust – activates phosphodiesterase to dephosphorylate internal proteins (inhibitory)
Gas – activates AC - increases cAMP(commonly coupled to metabotropic receptors that bind NE β1/2, 5-HT4/6/7 , DA D1/5, Histamine H2
Golf – olfactory, activates AC
Gq/11 – activates phospholipase C and creates DAG/ IP3.
G12/13 – activates Rho family of GTPases

Rabbit eye blink conditioning –
The delay between the two stimuli (puff of air and tone) was significant factor in determining what part of the brain controlled the learning.

LTP
Long term potentiation
Synapses are more active after repeated stimulation (high frequency “tetanus” of action potentials ~40-100 HZ) for 1s duration.
LTD
Long term depression
Opposite effect, triggered by frequent (10mins) with low-frequency (1Hz) stimulation.
Synapses change response with activity types = plasticity
![Page 24: Lecture 5 learning & memory](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b835514a7959b17c8b45d7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Brain waves: “rhythmic oscillations in cell electrical potential”
40 Hz gamma = significant for whole brain
4-10 Hz theta = learning related
Deep sleep / coma
Hypothesis: oscillations coordinate brain activity

Innervation of pyramidal cells by 12 types of GABAergic interneuron and interneurons by 4 types of interneuron specific cell in the CA1 area of the hippocampus
![Page 39: Lecture 5 learning & memory](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b835514a7959b17c8b45d7/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Expression channelrhodopsin in certain cell types + light stimulus to induce spiking = gamma rhythms
The gamma waves were most apparent at a frequency of 40 Hz; this indicates that the gamma waves evoked by FS manipulation are a resonating brain circuit property. This is the first study in which it's been shown that a brain state can be induced through the activation of a specific group of cells.
We causally tested these hypotheses in barrel cortex in vivo by targeting optogenetic manipulation selectively to fast-spiking interneurons. Here we show that light-driven activation of fast-spiking interneurons at varied frequencies (8-200 Hz) selectively amplifies gamma oscillations. In contrast, pyramidal neuron activation amplifies only lower frequency oscillations, a cell-type-specific double dissociation. We found that the timing of a sensory input relative to a gamma cycle determined the amplitude and precision of evoked responses. Our data directly support the fast-spiking-gamma hypothesis and provide the first causal evidence that distinct network activity states can be induced in vivo by cell-type-specific activation.

FS cells are inhibitory interneurons in the somatosensory cortex.

Humans have a persistent 40Hz brain wave oscillation that might be part of information flow, coordination, processing.
The medial septal area projects to a large number of brain regions that show theta modulation, including all parts of the hippocampus as well as the entorhinal cortex, perirhinal cortex, retrosplenial cortex, medial mamillary and supramamillary nuclei of the hypothalamus, anterior nuclei of the thalamus, amygdala, inferior colliculus, and several brainstem nuclei (Buzsáki, 2002).
Frequency is determined by a feedback loop involving the medial septal area and hippocampus (Wang, 2002).
The phase and amplitude of theta change in a very complex way as a function of position within the hippocampus. The largest theta waves (~1mV oscillations), however, are generally recorded from the vicinity of the fissure that separates the CA1 molecular layer from the dentate gyrus molecular layer.
