May be a stupid question but how confident are we that we understand memory in mice? Is memory as humans perceive it the same as what mice perceive it?

- ninesnines 4y agonot a stupid question! you can classify memory into many different components, and how memory in mice translates into humans is not extremely clear. we can do experiments that do fear conditioning, or classic conditioning and operant conditioning, but the translation from mice to humans is definitely not clear cut. I think this is one of the biggest weaknesses of the paper actually
- SemanticStrengh 4y agoWe do not understand memory of humans nor of mices nor of C.elegans. The question of the neural code is an unsolved problem with close to zero progress. However we don't need to, The regions and deficits in memory processing are highly preserved/correlated between mammals. They are many potent Nootropics for memory, such as Dihexa and prl, those are called hypermnesics. A classical one is choline, found in eggs and overlap with the nicotine impact on intelligence
