Learning and Memory - Neural Structures

Neuroscience, psychology and data science merch! Book recommendations!
A great way to support the channel and to help us to keep going is to check out our merch shop! My wife has created tons of really cool neuroscience, data science and psychology themed shirts, mugs and other gifts.

You can also help the channel by checking out one of my favorite neuroscience books! If you're like me though and don't have time for a physical book then consider listening to one of these on Audible. You can get one of these for free by signing up for a free trial. Even if you cancel before the trial is up, our channel still gets some much needed support!

Are you frustrated because you want to read as much as you can but you can never find the time to pick up a book? I noticed as I got older and busier that I was reading less and less every year. Audible was an absolute game changer! I was able to listen to all the books I wanted to and it was all during the down time moments where reading a physical book was impossible (driving my car, doing the dishes, out on a run, working in the yard..). In the last 5 years I've now listened a total of 4 months 20 days and 8 hours and have managed to listen to over 200 books. They do a free trial and give you your first book for free so give it a try and see if you get sucked in like I did.

Consider checking out my udemy course on group dynamics and social psychology!
If you enjoy my lectures than you might also enjoy my online course on group dynamics and the ways in which groups influence our behavior. www.udemy.com/course/social-p...
This is the tenth lecture in the cognitive neuroscience course. So much of our agency and sense of purpose comes from our ability to recall the past and assign meaning to it. It allows us to learn from past mistakes and to act flexibly in the present. This is part two of two lectures that explore the cognitive basis for memory from the level of the individual cell up to the network properties that rely on memory to operate effectively and efficiently.

First of all, thank you immensely for these lectures, it's been very helpful for my studies.
Now secondly, in the context of retrieving memories and the activation of certain regions in the brain, do these have anything to do with the movements we do with our eyes when trying to retrieve a memory? If so, are these movements different for true and false memories?

I'm very glad you enjoy them! I feel like education should be free for those that wish to pursue it and so I decided to post all my lectures. I'm very glad that it is helpful in some way :)
This is not something I've studied extensively but I do believe that there is a link between eye movements and episodic memory recall. I listed a couple of papers here that explore the role of eye movements and they appear to show that the movements are important for correct vs incorrect recall.
