Document Summary
What brain regions are important for each: explicit: deliberate recall of info that one remembers as a memory (ie, who was the main character in the last novel you read?) Implicit: the influences of recent experiences on behavior, w/o necessarily realizing that one is using memory. So thinking about skills, habits, emotional associations, and conditioned reflexes! Implicit: 1) skills/habits= striatum, motor areas of cortex, cerebellum: emotional associations: amygdala, conditioned reflexes: cerebellum. Brain and behavior: also for motor learning (skills) & cognitive stuff too, parietal lobe: if damage, don"t spontaneously elaborate on memories, temporal lobe (ant. /inf. Brain and behavior: ltp increases gap-43 & over production of gap-43 enhances learning and problem solving, following training, ltp seen in hippocampus quickly and in cerebral cortex 90- 180 minutes later (this might have been in rats: in people: partial nmda agonist (so ramp-up excitability of synapses) given w/ behavioral treatment for ptsd learn faster.
