In psychology, genetic memory is a theorized phenomenon in which certain kinds of memories could be inherited, being present at birth in the absence of any associated sensory experience, and that such memories could be incorporated into the genome over long spans of time.
Genetic memory may refer to: Genetic memory (psychology) , a memory present at birth that exists in the absence of sensory experience Genetic memory (computer science) , an artificial neural network combination of genetic algorithm and the mathematical model of sparse distributed memory
Miller and Sweatt demonstrated that rats trained in a contextual fear conditioning paradigm had elevated levels of mRNA for DNMT3a and DNMT3b in the hippocampus. [4] Fear conditioning is an associative memory task where a context, like a room, is paired with an aversive stimulus, like a foot shock; animals who have learned the association show higher levels of freezing behavior when exposed to ...
A breakthrough in genetic research may finally offer answers. Humans’ closest primate relatives lost their tails long ago, but exactly how has remained a mystery. A breakthrough in genetic ...
In computer science, genetic memory refers to an artificial neural network combination of genetic algorithm and the mathematical model of sparse distributed memory. It can be used to predict weather patterns. [1] Genetic memory and genetic algorithms have also gained an interest in the creation of artificial life. [2]
Hyperthymesia, also known as hyperthymestic syndrome or highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM), is a condition that leads people to be able to remember an abnormally large number of their life experiences in vivid detail.
In a year in which it seemed every great luminary got a moment under the documentary lens, it can be a bit difficult to parse out which were must-see. This list will have you covered.
Study of the genetics of human memory is in its infancy though many genes have been investigated for their association to memory in humans and non-human animals. A notable initial success was the association of APOE with memory dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease. The search for genes associated with normally varying memory continues.
