Many neurodegenerative diseases have a memory component. Brain structures related to memory are affected by environmental stimuli, and it is difficult to dissociate effects of all behavior of neurons.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Here, visual cortex of mice was stimulated with gratings and dot, and an observation of neuronal activity before and after was made. Bandwidth, firing rate and orientation selectivity index were evaluated.
A primary communication between primary visual cortex and short-term memory appeared to show an interesting path to train cognitive circuitry and investigate the basics mechanisms of the neuronal learning. The findings also suggested the interplay between primary visual cortex and short-term plasticity.
The properties inside a visual target shape the perception and affect the basic encoding. Using visual cortex, it may be possible to train the memory and improve the recovery of people with cognitive disabilities or memory deficit.
许多神经退行性疾病都有记忆方面的因素。与记忆相关的脑结构会受到环境刺激的影响，并且很难区分神经元所有行为的影响。
在此，用光栅和点刺激小鼠的视觉皮层，并对刺激前后的神经元活动进行观察。评估带宽、放电率和方向选择性指数。
初级视觉皮层与短期记忆之间的主要联系似乎显示出一条有趣的途径，可用于训练认知回路并研究神经元学习的基本机制。研究结果还表明了初级视觉皮层与短期可塑性之间的相互作用。
视觉目标内部的特性塑造了感知并影响基本编码。利用视觉皮层，有可能训练记忆并改善认知障碍或记忆缺陷患者的恢复情况。
