Short Term Memory
- A CA is the neural basis of a short-term memory.
- While the CA is firing at an elevated rate, it is
an active short-term memory.
- So, it should behave like a short-term memory and
stop firing after a few seconds maybe up to tens of seconds.
- If it is reactivated while active, it should persist longer.
- So, we'd like to it to follow, for example, the ACT-R model
of STM decay.
