Abstract
The review deals with neurobiology of memory; the aim of this investigation is to find the relationship among basic facts about memory and what are the underlying mechanisms. Substantial part of the review is devoted to synaptic plasticity and long-lasting potentiation (LTP).
They represent the in vitro approaches, which help to discover mechanisms that participate in memory. The role of hippocampus and parahippocampal formation for memory storage is described in more details.
Processes of memory consolidation and reconsolidation are presented. The review is closed by the index theory, which explains complicated situation in storage and retrieval of memory.
