Multiple Memory Systems
Short term memory systems• Sensory buffers (for each modality +
endogenous inputs from memory)
• Working memory
Long term memory systems• Declarative (or explicit)
• Non-declarative
Retrieval systems

1. Schema of STM systems
Short Term Memory
Sensory buffers Working memory
Sensory cortices Prefrontal cortex

Short Term Memory
Components: buffers + working memory• Sensory buffers: in continuous on-line reciprocal
contact with working memory circuitry• Working memory: processes only information that
reaches awareness, does so in the light of other inputs and priorities*
Duration range: < 1 - few seconds Requirement: repeated inputs or rehearsal Fate: erasure or potential storage
*Information that does not reach awareness may have non-declarative priming effects

Working Memory Circuitry
Prefrontal cortex: in continuous on-line reciprocal connections with• Sensory cortices for each modality (specific buffers)• Limbic circuits• Arousal circuits• Motor output circuits
* * * Note: Hippocampus circuitry: (data from amnestic
patients) • Not critical on-line, • Critical for long term storage

LTM declarative systems
Declarative (or explicit) memories
Episodic memory(time-bound facts of the
individual’s past)
Semantic memory(knowledge of
the world)
Medial temporal cortices + Medial temporal cortices +

Declarative (explicit) Memory1. Episodic (Tulving)
Uniquely human capacity to look back to the past and predict the future
Powerful tool Retrieve specific facts/events in time/place
context (unique, autobiographical) Late to develop evolutionarily (man only?) and
ontogenitically (infant amnesia) Fragile to degeneration Critically dependent on (not limited to!)
hippocampal/medial temporal cortices

Declarative (explicit) Memory 2. Semantic Memory
Knowledge (as opposed to remembrance of specific facts)
“Picked-up” knowledge from exposure to mostly forgotten past events/experiences
Starts at birth, long before episodic memory
Broad and powerful Much more resilient than episodic memory

2 - LTM non-declarative systems
Non-declarative (implicit) memories/learning nodes
Priming Conditioning
Sensory corticesEmotional: amygdalaMotor: cerebellum +
Procedural(skills, habits)
Basal ganglia(putamen), etc.
Non-associative
Reflex pathways

Hippocampus system
Binds inputs from all sensory modalities with limbic and prefrontal executive inputs
Reciprocally connected with relevant cortical and subcortical circuitry
Required for declarative memory• For fresh and midterm declarative memories
• Not for very long term “ “
Not required for non-declarative memories

Brain molecular/cellular underpinnings of memory
(Kandel, etc.)
Molecular – short term manipulation of incoming information to guide on-going behavior• Alteration in strength/effectiveness of already existing
synapses Neurotransmitter release/uptake
Cellular – long term storage • Requires protein synthesis and growth of new
synaptic receptors dendrites
Brain circuitry – long-term (yrs) consolidation

Retrieval
Long-term explicit memory storage: • mainly in modality-specific relevant
neocortical, ± limbic areasRecognition -- cue, strong, bottom-upRetrieval of unique item -- top/down, effortful
Long-term implicit memory storage:• mainly in cortical/subcortical circuitry relevant
to task/skill performance (e.g., motor cortex, basal ganglia, cerebellum, brainstem, spinal cord)

Amnestic syndrome
Result of bilateral hippocampal damage Not necessarily irreversible except for peri-
lesional time-window Impairs new explicit learning Impairs explicit but not implicit memories Does not impair procedural memory/skills Does not preclude learning new skills! Occasional cases in kids, even infants

Evidence for neural circuitry of memory
Lesion studies• Behavioral evidence• Imaging• Autopsy
Electrophysiology Functional imaging (PET, fMRI…) Subtraction: task vs. no task (“rest”) Subtraction: impaired group vs. “typical”
group

Problems with functional studies
Smallness of samples Homogeneity of samples Failure to replicate Multiplicity of nodes in widely distributed
pathways Requirement for cooperation Great difficulty/impossibility of testing young
children Cost Time required for data analysis Fancy statistical analyses required
