ABSTRACT
The network analysis of information storage (memory) in the central nervous system has captured the imagination of scientists for decades and most recently has resulted in the formation of formal models describing the brain circuits underlying the distributed storage of information in the mammalian central nervous system. The models generally fall into two categories, those that deal with mechanisms underlying neuronal plasticity at the synaptic level, and those dealing with a network analysis of the circuitry employed in the storage of spatially distributed synaptic change.
