Memory Mechanisms is an edited review volume that summarizes state-of-the-art knowledge on memory mechanisms at the molecular, cellular and circuit level. Each review is written by leading experts in the field, presenting not only current knowledge, but also discussing the concepts, providing critical reflections and suggesting an outlook for future studies. The memory mechanisms are also discussed in the context of diseases. Studies of memory deficits in disease models are introduced as well as approaches to restore memory deficits. Finally, the impact of contemporary memory research for psychiatry is illustrated.

Mechanisms of Sensory Working Memory: Attention and Performance XXV provides an update on research surrounding the memory processes that are crucial for many facets of cognitive processing and experience, with new coverage of emerging areas of study, including a new understanding of working memory for features of stimuli devoid of verbal, phonological, or long-term memory content, such as memory for simple visual features (e.g., texture or color), simple auditory features (e.g., pitch), or simple tactile features (e.g., vibration frequency), now called sensory memory to distinguish from verbal memory. This contemporary focus on sensory memory is just beginning, and this collection of original contributions provides a foundational reference for the study mechanisms of sensory memory. Students, scholars, and researchers studying memory mechanisms and processes in cognitive neuroscience, cognitive science, neuroscience, and psychology will find this book of great value to their work. Introduces the study of sensory mechanisms of working memory as distinct from verbal memory Covers visual memory, auditory memory, and tactile memory Includes translational content as the breakdown of working memory is often associated with a disease, disorder, or trauma to the brain

Working memory – the conscious processing of information – is increasingly recognized as one of the most important aspects of intelligence. This fundamental cognitive skill is deeply connected to a great variety of human experience – from our childhood, to our old age, from our evolutionary past, to our digital future. In this volume, leading psychologists review the latest research on working memory and consider what role it plays in development and over the lifespan. It is revealed how a strong working memory is connected with success (academically and acquiring expertise) and a poor working memory is connected with failure (addictive behavior and poor decision-making). The contributions also show how working memory played a role in our cognitive evolution and how the everyday things we do, such as what we eat and how much we sleep, can have an impact on how well it functions. Finally, the evidence on whether or not working memory training is beneficial is explored. This volume is essential reading for students, researchers, and professionals with an interest in human memory and its improvement, including those working in cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, developmental psychology, gerontology, education, health, and clinical psychology.

Working memory, an integral component of higher cognitive functions, involves the short-term retention and utilization of behaviorally relevant information when that information is no longer available in the environment. Tragically, individuals suffering from traumatic brain injuries, psychiatric disorders, and other neurological disorders often exhibit working memory deficits. The study of working memory may thus provide insight into the mechanisms underlying cognitive functions and the potential to alleviate major health problems. In order to understand cognitive processes, like working memory, several pieces of information must be considered: the cortical and sub-cortical areas involved, the manner in which these areas integrate, or share information, and the underlying dynamics of these integrative processes. These pieces form a hierarchical structure of investigation, from the individual areas to global principles of coordination. The objective of this study is to elucidate the relevant spatiotemporal patterns of oscillatory synchronization underlying visual working memory in the fronto-parietal network and across the brain. Relevant patterns for consideration are those that encode stimulus information, are modulated by the task, and those with distinct anatomical variations. The results of the studies presented in Chapters 2-4 provide extensive evidence that oscillatory synchronization is a mechanism for distributed integration. We show that the patterns of coherent activity 1) encode working memory items, 2) are indicative of the task period, 3) provide the potential for multiple functional networks, defined by the relative phase and, 4) are highly dynamic, with large fluctuations in magnitude and relative phase. Future studies will be necessary to further investigate the role of oscillatory synchronization. Efforts to perturb oscillatory activity in order to illustrate its utility, rather than simply correlating its activity with stimulus and task components, will be crucial. Finally, understanding the spatiotemporal activity patterns underlying working memory may ultimately allow for the identification of aberrant patterns, such as those brought on by disease, and allow for these patterns to be meaningfully interacted with - via neuroprosthetic devices.

Working memory--the ability to keep important information in mind while comprehending, thinking, and acting--varies considerably from person to person and changes dramatically during each person's life. Understanding such individual and developmental differences is crucial because working memory is a major contributor to general intellectual functioning. This volume offers a state-of-the-art, integrative, and comprehensive approach to understanding variation in working memory by presenting explicit, detailed comparisons of the leading theories. It incorporates views from the different research groups that operate on each side of the Atlantic, and covers working-memory research on a wide variety of populations, including healthy adults, children with and without learning difficulties, older adults, and adults and children with neurological disorders. A particular strength of this volume is that each research group explicitly addresses the same set of theoretical questions, from the perspective of both their own theoretical and experimental work and from the perspective of relevant alternative approaches. Through these questions, each research group considers their overarching theory of working memory, specifies the critical sources of working memory variation according to their theory, reflects on the compatibility of their approach with other approaches, and assesses their contribution to general working memory theory. This shared focus across chapters unifies the volume and highlights the similarities and differences among the various theories. Each chapter includes both a summary of research positions and a detailed discussion of each position. Variation in Working Memory achieves coherence across its chapters, while presenting the entire range of current theoretical and experimental approaches to variation in working memory.

Two experiments were conducted to examine the mechanisms underlying deficits of visual working memory in Parkinson's disease (PD). One study combined behavioral methods with event-related potentials (ERPs), the other, behavioral methods with structural and functional magnetic resonance images (MRIs). In both experiments, participants viewed an array of colored rectangles, some of which were task-irrelevant. Then, after a brief delay, they reported whether the orientation of any relevant figures had changed. By comparing trials with and without task-irrelevant items, it was shown that poor attentional filtering contributes to poor memory, both in people with and in those without PD. Measures of basal ganglia activation prior to the retention interval were generally consistent with claims that this structure serves as a "gate-keeper" to working memory. Structural analyses identified three regions for which disease-specific atrophy was negatively correlated with capacity- the right intraparietal sulcus (IPS) and the left and right pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA). Thus, converging evidence from behavior, electrophysiology, and MRI indicate that lowered capacity and poor attentional filtering both underlie deficits of working memory in people with Parkinson's disease.
