Memory allocation at the neuronal and synaptic levels

Memory allocation, which determines where memories are stored in specific neurons or synapses, has consistently been demonstrated to occur via specific mechanisms. Neuronal allocation studies have focused on the activated population of neurons and have shown that increased excitability via cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) induces a bias toward memory encoding neurons. Synaptic allocation suggests that synaptic tagging enables memory to be mediated through different synaptic strengthening mechanisms, even within a single neuron. In this review, we summarize the fundamental concepts of memory allocation at the neuronal and synaptic levels and discuss their potential interrelationships.
