1 Animal Models of Episodic Memory? Charan Ranganath Center for Neuroscience and Dept of Psychology, UC Davis Visit us on the web at: http://dml.ucdavis.edu Center for Neuroscience UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT DAVIS

2 Levels of analysis Conscious Experience (Subjective Report) Neural Substrates (lesion effects) Neural Correlates (physiology/imaging) Functional Characteristics (effects of behavioral manipulations) Episodic Memory

3 Levels of analysis Conscious Experience (Subjective Report) Information: Who, What, When Where Memory Constructs Confidence

4 Issues for discussion (or caution) Homologies in tasks: –Do humans, rats, and monkeys do task the same way? –Materials: words = odors/locations = objects? –Does extensive training change way memory tasks are performed? Homologies in brain structures: Prefrontal cortex Influence of “non-memory” processes Connection with pharmacology research (which often focuses on plasticity/consolidation)?
