Dopamine-mediated interactions between short- and long-term memory dynamics - Nature

Summary

Nutrition label

79% Informative

In the Drosophila brain, interconnected short- and long-term memory units of the mushroom body jointly regulate memory via dopamine signals that encode innate and learnt sensory valences.

This hybrid physiologic-anatomic mechanism may be a general means by which dopamine regulates memory dynamics in other species and brain structures.
