Abstracts
J.L. McGaugh
Emotionally arousing experiences are well remembered. Extensive evidence indicates that that adrenal stress hormones released by arousal regulate memory consolidation via converging influences on beta-noradrenergic activation within the basolateral amygdala (BLA). Activation of the BLA enhances memory via projections to other brain regions involved in processing different aspects of memory. The findings of both animal and human studies provide compelling evidence that stress-induced activation of the BLA and its projections to other brain regions plays a critical role in ensuring that emotionally significant experiences are remembered. Our recent research has identified individuals who have very strong and accurate memory: They have detailed memories of personal experiences and public events for most of the days of their lives. Current research is investigating the structure (MRI) of these individuals’ brains to determine whether specific brain systems are involved in enabling such strong autobiographical memories.
K.A. Ericsson
Traditional research has focused on average memory performance for standardized tasks by groups of untrained participants. The goal has been to identify generalizable memory capacities. These theories and the associated methodology have been less successful in describing and accounting for exceptional memory performance, such as improvements on the digit span of over 1,000% with practice (Ericsson, Chase, & Faloon, 1980). To identify the complex structure of acquired memory skills of a single participant Bill Chase and I developed a new methodology that combines protocol analysis and designed experimental tests.
In my talk I will discuss how Long-Term Working Memory (Ericsson & Kintsch, 1995) has been generalized to explain the acquisition and structure of memory for very large bodies of information, such as accurate recall of over 60,000 decimals of the mathematical constant pi. A general approach to the study of acquisition of expert performance in many other domains is proposed.

Spring 2007 CRAM Meeting
Wed, May 9, 2007
Center for Memory and Brain, Boston University (co-host)
George Sherman Union, 775 Commonwealth Avenue, 2nd floor -- click here for map
CRAM co-hosted a one-day workshop that examined our progress in understanding the functional organization of the medial temporal lobe memory system. In recent years there has been considerable evidence from diverse approaches, including experiments on amnesia and functional imaging in humans and lesion and single neuron recording studies in animals, demonstrating functional dissociations among medial temporal areas. This full day workshop highlighted the findings and thoughts of several internationally known investigators who have generated these data. The goal of the workshop was to review their findings and consider whether the data shed light on an overall functional organization that underlies memory processing by the MTL.
