The 6am Duo wrap up the first hour speculating what the Rockies will do for today's MLB trade deadline and explaining why the Skubal trade just killed the 2027 MLB season.  

Declarative memory is used when consciously recalling information, big or small, usually in a sustained way. It’s also the type of memory you use every time you use memory techniques like the Memory Palace or basic mnemonics. That’s why these mental learning tools can sometimes feel effortful, especially when you’re new to using them. But that’s also why the effort fades with practice. So to give you a small sense of what declarative memory feels like, give this exercise a try: What’s the name of your first friend in school? Can you think about a specific event from the time you spent together? When I do this, my friend Ryan comes to mind. He was the first person to show me an American dollar, something that was unusual to see way up north where we lived in Canada. These facts about what took place, where we were and my personal familiarity with the memory: It all belongs to declarative memory. This is quite different from nondeclarative memory for reasons we’ll discuss on this page, updated for you on May 4, 2026 with more information and an audio podcast. So if you’re ready to take a deep dive into the nature of declarative memory, the role it plays in human experience and how you can enjoy greater success when using memory techniques, I consider knowing terms like this part of the “owner’s manual of the mind and memory.” Let’s get started! What Is Declarative Memory? Declarative memory is another term for explicit memory. It’s also sometimes called conscious memory. Knowing this definition matters a great deal for your memory training because this kind of memory is responsible for every act of encoding, from assigning Memory Palaces to placing vivid associations that make reviewing what you’ve studied using a Memory Palace much easier. William James first defined this type of memory back in 1890 when he wrote: The knowledge of a former state of mind after it has already once dropped from consciousness; or rather it is the knowledge of an event, or fact, of which we have not been thinking, with the additional consciousness that we have thought or experienced it before. Note the nuance here: Declarative memory isn’t necessarily true. Sometimes we confabulate certain facts, which means that memories can get distorted. Dr. Gary Small has discussed our memory as a kind of neighborhood in which parts of our memories travel from house to house, getting changed each and every time they travel. Nonetheless, declarative memory is the conscious awareness of knowledge that something in the past happened to you. And more often than not, our declarative memories are accurate enough. The Science of Declarative Memory Scientists use the term encoding to describe how memories form in the first place. A declarative memory is better when the encoding is elaborate and deep. But all too often, our encoding is limited and superficial, which is why I have shared these elaborative encoding exercises with you. In the absence of such exercises, a lot of the depth of encoding comes down to focused attention. If you’re not interested in something, you’re more likely to encode in a shallow way. But when we’re interested in topics and having fun, encoding at a deep level tends to happen very quickly. The Role of Declarative Memory Over Time Once encoding has been accomplished, declarative memories must be stored for future access in long-term memory. Once the encoding and storage stages are complete, scientists call the result an engram. This term literally refers to the sum total of all the changes in the brain from the moment of perception to the ushering of the information into storage. Engrams are distributed across the brain. Different brain regions seem to be specialized for particular kinds of storage to help with particular kinds of information retrieval. Take chess openings, for example. William Chase and Herbert Simon asked chess players of varying levels of skill to analyze a chessboard featuring between 26-32 chess pieces arranged in actual configurations you might see in a game. They found that Grandmasters vastly outperformed the analytical tasks they were given when looking at actual games. However, when the scientists repeated the experiment with the pieces distributed randomly on the board, Grandmasters did no better than anyone else at recalling details of the chessboard. This is because the trained regions of their brains could not help them in this new context. For this reason, when you wish to improve your working memory,  it’s important to note that playing games might build you skills within the game environments. But those skills might not transfer much, and possibly not at all. Declarative Memory Examples Remember how I gave a declarative memory definition above by saying that it’s the conscious recall of memories in a sustained way? This means that accessing the memory takes place over time, often substantial amounts of time. Here are some examples: One: Where You Were When Something Happened I was in a cafeteria at York University when a friend called. He said, “Find a TV!” “What’s going on?” I asked, but all he could do was repeat himself. That was the morning of September 11, 2001. And when I finally found a television, I was just in time to see the second tower struck during the September 11 attacks. In this sustained example of flashbulb memory, I’m drawing upon semantic facts and episodic memory. It’s an autobiographical memory too, and the common denominator amongst all of them is that I am consciously aware that all of the material is memory. This way of looking at declarative memory matters for your memory training because flashbulb memories show you what deep encoding looks like when you experience it naturally. That’s why mnemonist David Berglas refers to it in his excellent book, A Question of Memory, when he discusses “the Kennedy Effect.” His suggestion is that whenever you memorize something, you try to make the associations you use as striking as what happened to JFK. But you’re generating this kind of association between what you want to memorize and episodes of such historical impact not for entertainment. You’re doing it with a depth of purpose tailored towards creating recall. Using that level of emotional intensity is tremendously helpful for ensuring the precious information you want to remember sticks. Two: Trivia Who doesn’t love to play from home during an episode of Jeopardy? As the answers appear on the screen, you get a great brain workout trying to arrive at the answer in the form of question. This is all declarative memory due to your conscious engagement in the process. You’re not just passively trying to arrive at the answer. You’re actively searching your memory and trying to do so fast enough to beat the clock. Now, this is not necessarily the same thing as sharing details about your favorite author, composer or artist during a conversation. Usually, there’s no pressure in such contexts. How they do relate is that we usually don’t memorize such facts deliberately. Such facts enter your memory implicitly, a kind of memory we’ll talk about a little bit further on. If you do want to deliberately memorize information for trivia night at the pub, however, here’s a tutorial on how to do it. Three: Locations And Directions Locations are related to trivia in some contexts. But more broadly, if someone asks you for directions, you’ll be drawing on your declarative memory to explain how a person can find the desire target. This process will take place even if you have aphantasia, which is the lack of a mind’s eye. People with this condition can both give and follow directions. That said, as science journalist Christopher Kemp has shown in Dark & Magical Places, not everyone has the same navigation abilities. It’s not entirely clear if the issues he outlines come down to declarative memory, but something called place cells are involved in navigational accuracy. Assuming you don’t have navigation issues like Kemp has reported, locations you know give your declarative memory rich and reliable options to work with for memorizing information. Four: Critical Thinking Anytime you turn on your thinking engines, you’ll be drawing upon declarative memory. General reasoning draws upon facts, as does specific, objective reasoning. And whenever you’ve got your inner Sherlock running to deduce or induce conclusions, you’ll probably also be drawing upon facts you already know. This is why memory training does far more than help you pass exams or recall names. The quality of your thinking depends on the quality of what you can retrieve, how accurately and how quickly. In other words, you can only reason using accessible facts. If your encoding is shallow when trying to memorize information, those facts won’t be there when you need them. To help you better understand this, think about the last time you tried to form an opinion during a discussion about something complicated. Your brain needed to pull together things you’d read, heard and experienced, all while weighing one piece of evidence against the other. All of this activity drew upon your declarative memory and the quality of how it fed your reasoning was based on how much material your brain could access. This is why I often say, “the more you learn the more you can learn.” You’re able to use the element of thinking and reasoning while using memory techniques, as described by the great memory teachers Peter of Ravenna, Jacobus Publicius and Giordano Bruno. What's the Difference Between Declarative and Nondeclarative Memory? In brief, it comes down to your conscious intention to recall information. Whereas with implicit memory (also known as nondeclarative memory you’re not conscious of either learning or recalling, declarative memory involves awareness. Larry R. Squire highlights another key difference in the Journal of Neuroscience. Your declarative memory can dictate how you describe your behavior in response to stimuli. As he explains it: An aversive childhood event such as being knocked down by a large dog might lead to a stable declarative memory for the event itself as well as a long-lasting fear of dogs (a nondeclarative memory) that is experienced as a personality trait rather than as a memory. In other words, our self-perception of early experiences guides how we describe their influence on their lives. But the influence itself comes from an early, nondeclarative memory experience. Procedural memory can also play a role, such as constantly acting out a learned helplessness around dogs. Why This Distinction Matters for Your Memory Training Since most people read the Magnetic Memory Method blog or listen to my podcast to improve their memory, it will be helpful for you to understand how declarative memory is involved in using most of the techniques I share in my mnemonics dictionary and Magnetic Memory Method Masterclass. Think about the last time you used a Memory Palace. (Or if the technique is new to you, check out my complete guide to using the Memory Palace technique). When you select a station in a Memory Palace, you consciously choose it. Then, when placing a mnemonic association, you use mnemonic techniques to generate and elaborate it. Every step requires your complete attention. And that’s an example of declarative memory doing the heavy lifting. If it feels slow or awkward, that’s not because memory techniques don’t work. It’s just a lack of training and practice in using them. Why Practice Will Always Remain Essential When you use memory techniques frequently enough, you will eventually need to spend less conscious effort bringing Memory Palace stations to mind. And the more familiarity you have with mnemonic tools like Memory Wheels, the Major System and a PAO System, your use of the techniques will happen faster. Later, when you practice retrieval through spaced repetition, your memory will serve you the target information at a faster rate. It might never feel completely effortless. But as procedural memory grows, using memory techniques will feel like riding a bike. You do have to rotate the pedals, but you don’t have to think about all the various operations that go into operating the bike and navigating it to reach a destination. The more you use Memory Palaces while generating and placing associations, the more it will be just like riding a bike with a feeling of automaticity. Mnemonic Encoding is Always Declarative Every time I create a new association, whether for memorizing something in Latin, my new law school project, Sanskrit, Chinese or the poetry I memorize, I have to consciously draw upon parts of the mind that involve declarative memory. And if you’re a medical student memorizing the cranial nerves, you can certainly use rote repetition. But that requires a lot of effort compared to using a Memory Palace paired with vivid associations. That’s because when you revise the information you’ve placed, you’ll be drawing upon those associations, many of which will involve episodic and autobiographical memories. You’re exercising multiple levels, strengthening the memory from a number of angles. Then, when you sit for an exam and face a question about the facial nerve, retrieval will have become procedural. And that will free up your mind to think about clinical applications rather than burning up cognitive resources just trying to remember basic anatomical names and facts. So the next time your encoding feels clunky and taking too much deliberate effort, don’t worry. Part of what’s happening is just an effect of how memory works. You’re actually drawing upon your declarative memory and it is doing its job relative to your study and practice of memory techniques. Chances are, you’ve just come across information that you’ve never tried to encode before and need a bit more time to think it through. Keep studying memory techniques and you’ll get better and faster overall. And when the gears grind to a halt, you’ll know that you just have to keep moving. That’s what I’ve always done and it has helped me memorize far more than I ever thought possible. How To Avoid The Corruption Of Your Declarative Memory As you’ve discovered, this aspect of your memory is not bullet proof. You can consciously feel that a memory is 100% accurate, but wind up recalling things that are either exaggerated or simply not true. Fortunately, there are ways to fend this off from happening. For one thing, you can see a lot of improvement simply by focusing on improving your sleep. You can also use memory techniques. There are countless studies showing just how strong these methods are for improving your ability to recall information accurately. Mnemonology is one particularly good and scholarly book that makes these studies accessible to anyone. Other options involve studying music, learning languages or learning to give speeches. You can also focus on preserving your non-declarative memory as an indirect approach. If you’d like help in any of these areas, I suggest you start with my FREE Memory Improvement Kit: It will help you commit anything you wish to memory. And give your declarative memory a great workout too. So what do you say? Do you now understand this critical aspect of your memory? Get out there and “declare” that you are a master of memory and put it to good use. It’s a powerful asset!

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.03.17.533126v1?rss=1 Authors: Autore, L., O'Leary, J., Ortega-de San Luis, C., Ryan, T. Abstract: Long-term memories are stored as stable configurations of neuronal ensembles, termed engrams. While investigation of engram cell properties and functionality in memory recall has been extensive, less is known about how engram cells are affected by forgetting. We describe a form of interference-based forgetting using an object memory behavioral paradigm. By using activity-dependent cell labelling, we show that although retroactive interference results in decreased engram cell reactivation during recall trials, optogenetic stimulation of the labelled engram cells is sufficient to induce memory retrieval. Forgotten engrams may also be reinstated via the presentation of similar or related environmental information. Furthermore, we demonstrate that engram activity is necessary for interference to occur. Taken together, these findings indicate that retroactive interference modulates engram expression in a manner that is both reversible and updatable. Retroactive inference may constitute a form of adaptive forgetting, where in everyday life new perceptual and environmental inputs modulate the natural forgetting process.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.02.24.529744v1?rss=1 Authors: Dorst, K. E., Senne, R. A., Diep, A. H., de Boer, A. R., Suthard, R. L., Leblanch, H., Ruesch, E. A., Skelton, S., McKissick, O. P., Bladon, J. H., Ramirez, S. Abstract: Memory engrams are both necessary and sufficient to mediate behavioral outputs. Defensive behaviors such as freezing and avoidance are commonly examined during hippocampal-mediated fear engram reactivation, yet how reactivation of these cellular populations across different contexts engages the brain to produce a variety of defensive behaviors is relatively unclear. To address this, we first optogenetically reactivated a tagged fear engram in the dentate gyrus (DG) subregion of the hippocampus across three distinct contexts. We found that there were differential amounts of light-induced freezing depending on the size of the context in which reactivation occurred: mice demonstrated robust light-induced freezing in the most spatially restricted of the three contexts but not in the largest. We then utilized graph theoretical analyses to identify brain-wide alterations in cFos co-activation during engram reactivation across the smallest and largest contexts. Our manipulations conferred greater positive cFos correlations and recruited regions spanning putative fear and defense systems as hubs in the respective networks. Moreover, reactivating DG-mediated engrams generated network topologies across experimental conditions, emphasizing both shared and distinct features. By identifying and manipulating the circuits supporting memory function, as well as their corresponding brain-wide activity patterns, it is thereby possible to resolve systems-level biological mechanisms mediating memory's capacity to modulate behavioral states.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.08.27.505441v1?rss=1 Authors: Delamare, G., Feitosa Tome, D., Clopath, C. Abstract: Memories are thought to be stored in neural ensembles known as engrams that are specifically reactivated during memory recall. Recent studies have found that memory engrams of two events that happened close in time tend to overlap in the hippocampus and the amygdala, and these overlaps have been shown to support memory linking. It has been hypothesised that engram overlaps arise from the mechanisms that regulate memory allocation itself, involving neural excitability, but the exact process remains unclear. Indeed, most theoretical studies focus on synaptic plasticity and little is known about the role of intrinsic plasticity, which could be mediated by neural excitability and serve as a complementary mechanism for forming memory engrams. Here, we developed a rate-based recurrent neural network that includes both synaptic plasticity and neural excitability. We obtained structural and functional overlap of memory engrams for contexts that are presented close in time, consistent with experimental studies. Moreover, we showed that enhancing the initial excitability of a subset of neurons just before presenting a context biases the memory allocation to these neurons. We then explored the role of inhibition as a way of controlling competition among neurons from two ensembles. This work suggests mechanisms underlying the role of intrinsic excitability in memory allocation and linking, and yields predictions regarding the dynamics of memory engrams.

#reconsolidation #PTSD #neuroscience #learning #memory From NeuroBeer #4 - streamed live June 15, 2020. Full conversation: https://youtu.be/yhxyuBLiLs8 In order to remember something, you must have learned it first. When something new is learned, the brain stores that information through a series of electro-chemical connections between neurons, known as a memory 'engram'. These 'neural engrams' allow for the recall of memories by triggering the re-activation of the same brain connections where the memory was stored. Many prominent theories of learning and memory in neuroscience suggest that when a memory is recalled, it is subject to modification - the strength of the memory can be increased or decreased depending on how much attention is devoted to the memory once it's recalled. So is it better to learn the first time? Or does one need to re-learn the same information repeatedly throughout life to ensure it doesn't vanish from memory? We cover memory engrams, evolutionary biology of memory, bible history and potential applications of reconsolidation to PTSD treatment. We're a group of Canadian neuroscientists reviewing the latest news, events and scholarly publications from this week in neuroscience and beyond!

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.07.01.182782v1?rss=1 Authors: Cincotta, C., Murawski, N. J., Grella, S. L., McKissick, O., Doucette, E., Ramirez, S. Abstract: Alcohol withdrawal directly impacts the brain's stress and memory systems, which may underlie individual susceptibility to persistent drug and alcohol-seeking behaviors. Numerous studies demonstrate that forced alcohol abstinence, which may lead to withdrawal, can impair fear-related memory processes in rodents such as extinction learning, however the underlying neural circuits mediating these impairments remain elusive. Here, we tested an optogenetic strategy aimed at mitigating fear extinction impairments in male c57BL/6 mice following exposure to alcohol (i.e., ethanol) and forced abstinence. In the first experiment, extensive behavioral extinction training in a fear-conditioned context was impaired in ethanol-exposed mice compared to controls. In the second experiment, neuronal ensembles processing a contextual fear memory in the dorsal hippocampus were tagged and optogenetically reactivated repeatedly in a distinct context in ethanol-exposed and control mice. Chronic activation of these cells resulted in a context-specific, extinction-like reduction in fear responses in both control and ethanol-exposed mice. These findings suggest that while ethanol can impair fear extinction learning, optogenetic manipulation of a fear engram is sufficient to induce an extinction-like reduction in fear responses.

Abstract: The hippocampus processes both spatial-temporal information and emotionally salient experiences. To test the functional properties of discrete sets of cells in the dorsal dentate gyrus (dDG), we examined whether chronic optogenetic reactivation of these ensembles was sufficient to modulate social behaviors in mice. We found that chronic reactivation of dDG cells in male mice was sufficient to enhance social behaviors in a female exposure task when compared to pre-stimulation levels. However, chronic reactivation of these cells was not sufficient to modulate group differences in a separate subset of social behaviors, and multi-region analysis of neural activity did not yield detectable differences in immediate-early gene expression or neurogenesis, suggesting a dissociation between our chronic stimulation-induced behavioral effects and underlying neural responses. Together, our results demonstrate that chronic optogenetic stimulation of cells processing valent experiences enduringly and unidirectionally modulates social interactions between male and female mice.

This week we had cbgray join us on the podcast and got to know his history of Destiny and his journey as a content creator. We got his take on top raids and moments of the franchise as well. We discussed the TWAB for May 8th which had Luke Smith talking about changes coming in Year 4 and Season 12 and beyond. Rewards will be improving. Vanity or Cosmetics will be spread more into game activities and less in Eververse. Aspirational content will have new armor tied to the activity each year. Core activities will be getting new armor and weapons as well in Year 4 and beyond. Many good things are coming next year, and while Season 11 is nearly in motion already, the fall looks very promising.

What is learning and memory? Is amnesia really a loss of stored memories or something more? In this interview, we will discuss where memory goes and if there is a way to retrieve them after trauma. Recent studies have shown that spatial memories are encoded as sparse populations of cells that are activated during learning and are necessary for the retrieval of specific memories. We refer to these cells as "memory engram cells" and the focus of Tomás J Ryan and his team is to understand how engram cells are able to store specific memories as information. Here is a quick summary/breakdown of the video above. The old storage theory of amnesia is WRONG. The problem is the ability to retrieve the memory. Short term memory lasts a few hours. It is very disruptable (long term is not). Long term memory lasts your entire lifetime. It requires transcription and translation of many different genes. We have many different genes that regulate memory. They are different for short term and long term - playing roles at different stages. Most popular was CREB (turns on other genes). Engrams cells are structures in the brain where memories are stored. R They used optigenetics to prove engram cells were important for memory. Engram cells only account for 4-6% of the brain cells in the hippocampus (of mice). V Consolidation idea - a short term memory (unstable) forms into a long term memory (stable), thus stabilizing the engram. Optogenetics - let's us express photoactivatable opsins in whatever region of the brain we want. The brain is electrically active. They put certain opsins into brain cells and then stimulate them with light. These opsins can conduct ions - putting positively charged cations from the external environment of the cell into the neuron. This depolarizes the cell, which results in an action potential (creating neuronal activity). What they did at MIT was integrate optogenetics and memory engram cells. They tested parts of the brain using a transgenetics - they took immediate/early genes (genes that show activity as a function of neuronal spike) and used opsins to only activate those genes. Amnesia and Memory Learning is the enhancement of synaptic connections. Memory is a stable thing in the brain and can last for your entire life. Learning and recall are not "things", they are activities. Learning = process of making a memory. Recall = process of retrieving a memory. So the problem is not memory itself. Amnesic engram cells have a loss of synaptic strength. Increasing the synaptic strength helps get the memory (which is commonly seen in Alzheimer's (AD), Huntington's (HD)). If you increase the synaptic potentiation (increasing the dendritic spine density), esp. of the amnesic engram cells, you can get natural access to those memories. Neurotrophic factors (BDNF, NGF, CNTF, GDNF) do this, but are not localized nor memory specific. Learning something new (about something you are amnesic about) will train your brain to those particular engram cells. Once you activate the engram cells (with optogenetics), you can restore access to old information and add new information on those amnesic memories. Without dealing with the cause, you probably won't be able to really restore memories (in diseases like AD, HD, etc.) In late stages of neurodegeneration, you may actually lose memories. Actions to take for prevention Stay mentally active Engage in physical exercise Actions to take for amnesia (acute memory loss) Do everything to remind yourself of those experiences Retrain on the "forgotten" pieces We briefly discussed gene expression and histone acetylation to enhance memory. https://mybiohack.com/blog/tomas-j-ryan-debunking-amnesia-and-stabilizing-engram-cells

Engrams and tracings of revelation no longer satisfy the hungry minds of the searchers of beyond the beyond. Stand on you feet and be excited you whale-of-facts-fishers.. for intrigue is in pursuit of sketching a map of speaking stars like the star that led the wise men to the Lord Christ child. Magnitudes are speaking, therefore, space junk is falling from the skies. It is a time of wire pulling, for antique ways no longer fit the wireless, space to space, and spirit to spirit, transmissions of God's new and living word. A sphere of revelation paved with sapphires of love has girted the Holy Manifest to become a spiritual diamond processing conductor where the Word of God can move God-Light from destiny to destiny and from glory to glory. Now comes the Manifester with Part 17. Let that which must tumble, tumble, and that which must fold, fold. For now must the crooked places become straight and the hills rise like mountains kissing skies. Jerry O. Lee, D.D., The Manifester Yada
