Description
It has been assumed that laying down a new memory primarily depends on neural activity that follows an event. Recently, we have demonstrated that memory formation also relies on activity that immediately precedes an event. This indicates that the neural context in which an event occurs is an important determinant of successful encoding. In this presentation, I will discuss the current state of knowledge of memory formation, and present recent findings on neural context effects on encoding.
