To understand how the brain learns and remembers requires an integration of psychological concepts and behavioral methods with mechanisms of synaptic plasticity and systems neuroscience. The Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, Second Edition provides a synthesis of this interdisciplinary field. Each chapter makes the key concepts transparent and accessible to a reader with minimal background in either neurobiology or psychology and is extensively illustrated with full-color photographs and figures depicting important concepts and experimental data. Like the First Edition, the Second Edition is organized into three parts. However, each part has been expanded to include new chapters or reorganized to incorporate new findings and concepts.
1. Introduction: Fundamental Concepts and Historical Foundations
Part One. Synaptic Basis of Memories
2. Mechanisms of Synaptic Plasticity: Introduction

5. Consolidating Synaptic Changes: Translation and Transcription
6. Consolidating Synaptic Changes: Specific Mechanisms
7. Maintaining the Consolidated Trace

Part Two. Molecules and Memories
9. Making Memories: Conceptual Issues and Methods
10. Memory Formation: Early Stages
