Abstract

This collection of research explores the multifaceted nature of memory, covering fundamental processes from reconsolidation
and consolidation to active forgetting. It delves into the intricate molecular and cellular mechanisms, identifies critical brain regions
like the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, and characterizes specific engram cells involved in memory storage. Furthermore, the
data highlights advanced research tools such as optogenetics and neuromodulation, alongside the crucial role of sleep in memory
stabilization. These studies collectively advance our understanding of memory systems, offering insights into potential therapeutic
avenues for memory-associated disorders and enhancement.
