Higher Mental Functions of Brain: Learning and Memory01:26

Higher Mental Functions of Brain: Learning and Memory

935
Memory is one of the most vital higher mental functions of the brain. Memory is closely related to learning because it enables us to retain information and experiences from our past to use them in our present life. It also helps us to remember facts, events, and skills, such as riding a bike or swimming. There are two types of memory — declarative memory, which involves memorizing facts or events, and procedural memory, which enables us to remember how to do something like writing or...

Biological Causes of Schizophrenia01:29

Biological Causes of Schizophrenia

115
Schizophrenia, a severe psychiatric disorder, arises from a complex interplay of biological factors, including genetic predisposition, structural brain abnormalities, neurotransmitter dysregulation, and developmental irregularities. These factors collectively contribute to the onset and progression of the disorder, which typically manifests in late adolescence or early adulthood.
Genetic Factors in Schizophrenia
The genetic basis of schizophrenia is strongly supported by family and twin...

Psychosis: Pathophysiology of Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders

881
Schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental disorder whose origins are rooted in complex genetic components. Despite our burgeoning understanding, the pathophysiology of this disorder remains incompletely deciphered.
Researchers have identified genetic factors that increase susceptibility to schizophrenia, underscoring the intricate interplay between genetics and environment in disease development. At the core of schizophrenia's pathophysiology is excessive dopaminergic neurotransmission within...

Functional Brain Systems: Limbic System

3.4K
The limbic system, often called the "emotional brain," is a complex set of structures located deep within the brain. The intricate network of the limbic system supports a wide range of psychological functions, from emotional regulation to memory formation and sensory processing. This functional brain region encompasses specific parts of the diencephalon and the cerebrum, integrating the higher mental functions of the cerebral cortex with the primitive emotional responses of the deep brain...

Role of Cerebellum and Prefrontal Cortex in Memory01:14

Role of Cerebellum and Prefrontal Cortex in Memory

554
The cerebellum, while traditionally associated with motor control, also plays a crucial role in memory, particularly in procedural memory, which involves learning motor tasks that become automatic through repetition. For example, studies have shown that when the cerebellum is damaged, individuals or animals lose the ability to learn conditioned motor responses, such as the conditioned eye-blink response in classical conditioning experiments with rabbits. This study demonstrates the...

Long-term Depression01:03

Long-term Depression

2.6K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Memory deficits are a primary characteristic of schizophrenia.
  • Traditional research focuses on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and hippocampus.
  • A broader network perspective is needed to understand these deficits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel framework for understanding memory deficits in schizophrenia.
  • To investigate the role of sensory pathway impairments in cognitive dysfunction.
  • To explore new avenues for biomarkers and therapeutic interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Review and synthesis of existing literature on neural networks and sensory processing.
  • Examination of the impact of visual pathway impairments (magno- and parvo-cellular) on learning and memory networks.
  • Network-level analysis of information processing in schizophrenia.

Main Results:

  • Impairments in visual pathways (magno- and parvo-cellular) lead to degraded sensory input.
  • This degradation affects higher-order learning and memory networks.
  • Aberrant neural signaling cascades contribute to cognitive deficits.

Conclusions:

  • Sensory processing deficits are a significant, underappreciated factor in schizophrenia-related memory loss.
  • A comprehensive network model must include perceptual contributions.
  • This framework offers potential for novel biomarkers and treatments for schizophrenia.
