Description

This book looks at what we have learned over the last century in attempting to discover how the brain enables us to acquire, retain, and use information based on experiences. The major central questions are: "What processes underlie the formation of new memories?" "What processes determine the strength of memories?" "Where are the changes underlying memory located?"
