Abstract

The current neuroscience of memory takes on board the remarkable achievements of molecular neurobiology and merges them with findings from systems neuroscience and cognitive psychology. This results in a highly dynamic depiction of the memory trace, appreciating its restlessness and incessant assimilation into accumulating knowledge. With an armamentarium of amazing methodologies at hand, and more around the corner, we still lack dictionaries of neuronal codes, able to translate spatiotemporal patterns of brain activity into behavioral tokens. But the path to getting there continues to fascinate, to be accompanied by fresh challenges and new approaches.
