Topic: Neuroscience of Memory
The case of Henry Molaison, more famously known as H.M., illustrates there are multiple different forms of memory. In this class, we will explore these different memory systems from theoretical and neurobiological perspectives. In the first half of the class, we will explore behavioral memory including sensitization, habituation, classical conditioning and instrumental/operant conditioning. The second half of the class will focus on cognitive forms of memory including episodic, semantic and working memory. We will also explore how episodic memories are represented and stored in the brain and end with a discussion about how these different memory systems might interact.
