ABSTRACT

The review by Slotnick is valuable for raising the important question of how much the hippocampal activity induced by novel stimuli is due to mechanisms for encoding into long-term memory, and how much is due to working memory. Slotnick’s paper implicitly defines working memory as being equivalent to sustained activation during the late delay period. In this commentary, we suggest that cognitive neuroscientists should consider a broader range of cellular and synaptic mechanisms for maintaining information in working memory.

在工作记忆中保存信息的机制

摘要

斯洛特尼克的评论对于提出一个重要问题很有价值，即新刺激引起的海马活动有多少是由于编码成长期记忆的机制，有多少是由于工作记忆。斯洛特尼克的论文含蓄地将工作记忆定义为相当于延迟后期的持续激活。在这篇评论中，我们建议认知神经科学家应该考虑更广泛的细胞和突触机制来维持工作记忆中的信息。
