The ability to store and later use information is essential for a variety of adaptive behaviors, including integration, learning, generalization, prediction and inference. In this Review, we survey theoretical principles that can allow the brain to construct persistent states for memory. We identify requirements that a memory system must satisfy and analyze existing models and hypothesized biological substrates in light of these requirements. We also highlight open questions, theoretical puzzles and problems shared with computer science and information theory.
存储和后续使用信息的能力对于各种适应性行为至关重要，包括整合、学习、泛化、预测和推理。在这篇综述中，我们调查了允许大脑构建持久记忆状态的理论原则。我们确定了记忆系统必须满足的要求，并根据这些要求分析了现有的模型和假设的生物基质。我们还强调了与计算机科学和信息论共享的开放性问题、理论难题和问题。
