Developing animals can learn many things about their environment as they grow up. Remembering when objects have been previously encountered and the context of that experience can be important for adapting to changing environments as young animals develop. Interestingly, memory emerges differentially with age depending on what is being recalled (e.g. object identity versus location of the object), and the brain regions responsible for the memory are not as well characterized in young relative to adult animals. The current talk will discuss the developing recognition memory circuit and how different brain regions contribute to changing memory during development.
