I am working on the research of FeFET and find out that MW(memory window) increases, while EOT(effective oxide thickness) decreases.

To myself, there are two explanations to this relation:

1. EOT decreases, Cox increases, more Qsi , more Qfe can polarize in ferroelectric material, so memory window increase.

2. For the same gate bias, decreasing EOT means that the voltage across oxide is smaller, so voltage for ferroelectric material is larger, so memory window increase.

Which is more physical reason and why? I hope there are some journal paper as reference. Thank you very much.

Would you happen to know of any research linking mindfulness training with improvements in long-term memory (recall and/or recognition tasks)? I'm looking to see if have have been any studies directly establishing a link between MTL structures (esp hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus) and mindfulness training outcomes. Most literature seems to be focused on frontal-lobe/prefrontal regions.

Aims Neuroscience is requesting paper submissions for our November issue. Manuscripts will need to be received by September 28, 2014, and decisions on acceptance will be completed by October 28. While research indicates synaptic plasticity is often correlated with acquisition and/or consolidation of new learning and that treatments that interfere with or enhance plasticity interfere with or enhance memory, similar conditions are met by other neural mechanisms not necessarily occurring at synapses, for example alteration of intrinsic excitability of neurons. Problems with synaptic plasticity mechanisms, including odd time courses of events or dissociation from behavioral outcomes, have been explained away via the notion of sparse coding, although experimental evidence for such hidden plasticity is inherently difficult to obtain. Is it time for our field to entertain alternate hypotheses, based upon available experimental data?

In a paper that I am interested they are measuring activity of DS (dorsal striatum) fast-spiking interneurons in choice execution.And they do not classify neurons on the basis of during rate or waveform, instead, they categorize them base on the event (learning phase).

"The activity of all recorded neurons (5.89 ± 8.4 Hz) was sorted into 50-ms time bins and temporally aligned to four separate event-related 3-s epochs: after trial initiation, immediately before choice, after choice and after reward retrieval " Brigman et al., 2013. NatNeurosc

Why do they sort the activity of all recorded neurons in a 50-ms time bins?

Why do they choose 5.89 ± 8.4 Hz?

It is a great paper, but i am not electrophysiologist, but I am using it for a research class.

Thank you!

Among the strongest findings in all of Psychology are on the Memories (the Memory systems and their inter-workings), yet you do not address them AT ALL (_AND_ are wrongly contrary to these findings). There is no chance of you finding any key observable evidence for such a view -- making your view, again, scientifically unacceptable (see "The Poverty of Embodied Cognition", --

-- also easy to find the FULL TEXT.

It is clear that you are a 'victim' of very inappropriate dualism: here (for one just thing, particularly): the idea of "memory as a separate thing" (just an aspect OF experience).

MOREOVER: I have also clearly shown in my writings that your beliefs are based on central ("founding") 'assumptions'; THESE ARE UNPROVEN AND LIKELY FALSE BASIC ASSUMPTIONS (read ME and learn).

As a first step to properly seeing your "idea system", just realize that by the definitions (found through research) on/of the Memories (those operating together): They comprise OUR EXPERIENCE ITSELF.

This nonsense of ours and some others has got to stop.

Dear Syed

According to my mathematics called self-field theory (SFT) there may be two different methods of storing memories: one is based on electromagnetic (EM) fields while long term memories are stored as strong nuclear (SN) fields, probably within DNA. The conversion of short and long term memories presumably happens during 'deep' sleep when the two dimensional, EM fields are somehow converted into three-dimensional gluon encoded data within quarks. This is implied by the structure of the mathematics and its connections to particle physics.  

The mathematics 

If this hypothesis is correct the question is what happens to 'sound' in long term memories?

Could this be useful in your research into consciousness?

Is there someone who have already investigated this issue with or without success? There is very few studies on this issue, especially regarding the orthographic influence on auditory STM tasks. Yet, orthographic representations are highly connected with phonological representations and may be activated during speech processing. Therefore, orthographic knowledge might help the recall of the words or non-words in certain situations (e.g., in case of phonologic similarity but orthographic dissimilarity as it has been showed in Pattamadilock et al. 2010).

Maybe some of you have tried to investigate this question in a different way ? Or more generally, have examined if reading acquisition influences the development of WM or verbal STM (that's my question of research)

Hi, we are recently doing a working memory experiment in healthy, normal subjects with EEG and eye-tracking measurement. We have no prior background in psychology, but we have heard that some psychology lab let the subjects do some questionnaires before the actual experiment.

We wish to know is it a standard practice to do questionnaire before actual experiment in human neuroscience research? If yes, how can I find appropriate questionnaire? If no, then what kind of experiment need a questionnaire before hand?

I will look at to the effect of aging on learning and memory in rat (using Morris Water Maze test).

The rat will be performed the testing when they reach the age of 8, 12, 16, 20 months.

Is it possible to use the same rat for testing?

The previous testing (at 8 month age) will interfere the result of the later testing (at 12 or 16, 20 month age) , or not?

or I should separate the rat into 4 group?

What is the minimum of time interval between the two testing (in case of Morris water maze test) can be performed?

When dynamically reactivated through pedagogy, can learning memory embedded for reveal the contemporary relevance and future potentialities of adult learners online?
