PSY397H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Vitamin B12 Deficiency, Anterograde Amnesia, Memory Consolidation
Document Summary
Animals usually respond to environmental stimuli based on a baseline response, but if the baseline response is altered they are learning. Memory is the storage of altered baseline response. Amensia process of consolidation does not occur. Dori could not hold memory for a long time anterograde amnesia. Protein synthesis inhibitors can disrupt the consolidation process drug manipulation of memory consolidation. Development of organism is altered in animals genetic manipulation of memory consolidation. Stored in the temporal lobe facts (semantic) and events (episodic) Reflexive forms of learning skeletal musculature expose rabbit to noxious puffs of air and have them associate this reflexive stimulus with a light source. Eventually the response would be to the light source. Subliminal messaging priming mainly through neocortex. Suprachiasmatic nucleus neuronal firing corresponds to locomotor activity of the body associated with circadian rhythms. Korsakofs syndrome vitamin b deficiency alcoholism, malnutrition.
