Thus many animal experimenters had attempted to study the time course of consolidation of memory traces by such experiments as teaching the animal a task and after a variable

A mathematical model of forgetting and amnesia
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 We describe a mathematical model of learning and memory and apply it to the dynamics of forgetting and amnesia. The model is based on the hypothesis that the neural systems involved in memory at different time-scales share two fundamental properties: (1)

Suppression of neurotoxic lesion-induced seizure activity: evidence for a permanent role for the hippocampus in contextual memory. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Damage to the hippocampus (HPC) using the excitotoxin N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) can cause retrograde amnesia for contextual fear memory. This amnesia is typically attributed to loss of cells in the HPC.
