Abstract
Memorable positive and negative experiences produce different profiles of gene expression in brain areas associated with long-term memory.
Highlights
T ry to recall your earliest memory
Immediate-early gene activation is used as a marker of when and where synaptic plasticity is taking place (Flavell and Greenberg, 2008; Minatohara et al, 2015)
The analysis focused on five brain areas which react to memorable events and play a crucial role in long-term memory (Catani et al, 2013)
Summary
T ry to recall your earliest memory. Chances are this experience took place a few decades ago. A memory is created when a significant signal is received from the environment and activates groups of neurons in the brain. Immediate-early gene activation is used as a marker of when and where synaptic plasticity is taking place (Flavell and Greenberg, 2008; Minatohara et al, 2015).
