• Sommario/riassunto: This book presents current research in the study of the mechanisms, types and disorders of long-term memory. Topics included in this compilation include the role of long-term memory in aging and its correlation with topographic disorientation; the diversity and complexity of neurocortical connections, circuits, maps and their relationships with superior cognitive function; PARP1 activation required for long-term memory; the effects of afobazole on cognitive activity; the benefits of expressive writing on long-term memory performance; and visuo-spatial attention on long-term memory encoding.
