From the traditional perspective of associative learning theory, the hypothesis linking modifications of synaptic transmission to learning and memory is plausible. It is less so from an information-processing perspective, in which learning is mediated by computations that make implicit commitments to physical and mathematical principles governing the domains where domain-specific cognitive mechanisms operate. We compare the properties of associative learning and memory to the properties of long…

The Demise of the Synapse As the Locus of Memory: A Looming Paradigm Shift?
TLDR
A novel way of thinking about the role of synaptic plasticity in learning and memory is proposed, and a variety of tentative neuroscientific evidence appears to substantiate questioning the idea of the synapse as the locus of memory.
The demise of the synapse as the locus of memory: A looming paradigm shift?

Time to rethink the neural mechanisms of learning and memory
Is plasticity of synapses the mechanism of long-term memory storage?
TLDR
This review addresses the key findings from the synaptic plasticity literature that make these phenomena such attractive memory mechanisms and turns its attention to evidence that questions the reliance of memory exclusively on changes at the synapse and attempts to integrate these opposing views.
The Synaptic Theory of Memory: A Historical Survey and Reconciliation of Recent Opposition
TLDR
The synaptic theory of memory has not met its demise, but is essential to the understanding of the neural basis of memory, which has two components: synaptic plasticity and intrinsic plasticity.
Intrinsic plasticity and birdsong learning
The search for the engram: Should we look for plastic synapses or information-storing molecules?
Neuron Perspective Toward a Neurocentric View of Learning
TLDR
Evidence that ensemble integration may result from LTP but also from cell-autonomous changes in membrane excitability is reviewed, suggesting that synaptic plasticity determines synaptic connectivity maps, whereas intrinsic plasticity— possibly separated in time—amplifies neuronal responsiveness and acutely drives engram integration.

New life in an old idea: The synaptic plasticity and memory hypothesis revisited
TLDR
There is now compelling evidence that changes in synaptic strength occur as a consequence of certain forms of learning, a major challenge will be to determine whether such changes constitute the memory trace itself or play a less specific supporting role in the information processing that accompanies memory formation.
Synaptic plasticity and memory: an evaluation of the hypothesis.
TLDR
It is concluded that a wealth of data support the notion that synaptic plasticity is necessary for learning and memory, but that little data currently supports the notion of sufficiency.
Recovery of spatial learning deficits after decay of electrically induced synaptic enhancement in the hippocampus
TLDR
It is demonstrated that learning capacity recovers in about the same time that it takes LTE to decay, which strongly favours the first possibility and supports the idea that LTE-like processes actually underlie associative memory.
The organization of learning
TLDR
It is argued compellingly that experimental psychologists should begin to view the phenomena of learning within a framework that utilizes as the proper unit of analysis the computation and storage of a quantity, rather than the formation of an association that has been the basis of traditional learning theory.
Spike timing-dependent plasticity: a Hebbian learning rule.
TLDR
This work has examined the functional consequences of STDP directly in an increasing number of neural circuits in vivo, and revealed several layers of complexity in STDP, including its dependence on dendritic location, the nonlinear integration of synaptic modification induced by complex spike trains, and the modulation ofSTDP by inhibitory and neuromodulatory inputs.

TLDR
It is now becoming possible to construct a mechanistic neural‐level model of at least some aspects of spatial memory and imagery, with the hippocampus and medial temporal lobe providing allocentric environmental representations, the parietal lobe egocentric representations, and the retrosplenial cortex and parieto‐occipital sulcus allowing both types of representation to interact.
Theta-paced flickering between place-cell maps in the hippocampus
TLDR
It is shown in rats that instantaneous transformation of the spatial context does not change the hippocampal representation all at once but is followed by temporary bistability in the discharge activity of CA3 ensembles, indicating a short period of competitive flickering between preformed representations of the past and present environment before settling on the latter.
The Replacement of General-Purpose Learning Models with Adaptively Specialized Learning Modules
TLDR
Most past and contemporary theorizing about learning does not assume that learning mechanisms are adaptively specialized for the solution of particular kinds of problems, but a different conception is gaining ground in the study of animal learning.
Path integration and the neural basis of the 'cognitive map'
TLDR
Theoretical studies suggest that the medial entorhinal cortex might perform some of the essential underlying computations by means of a unique, periodic synaptic matrix that could be self-organized in early development through a simple, symmetry-breaking operation.
