A major area of inquiry in the engram research field is the degree to which the neural ensembles or circuits that join specific types of memories (e.g. fear versus reward) are predetermined or flexible. Consider the relevant evidence from the lecture to answer the following questions. Be sure to describe the neural manipulation(s), and the behavioral and/or neural outcome measurement(s) that support your answers for each part.  Is it possible to change which neurons join an engram in the amygdala during initial fear conditioning? Does the evidence supporting your answer suggest these neurons are necessary for the expression of the associated memory? (4 points) Is it possible to change which neurons join an engram in the hippocampus during initial fear conditioning? Does the evidence supporting your answer suggest these neurons are necessary for the expression of the associated memory? (4 points) Can the “valence” of an amygdala engram be switched from negative to positive, or vice versa, after the engram has been established? (4 points) Can the “valence” of a hippocampal engram be switched from negative to positive, or vice versa, after the engram has been established? (4 points) What do any differences between the flexibility of hippocampal and amygdala engrams suggest about the different roles these regions play in memory formation and expression? Is any of the evidence you discussed contradictory? (4 points)
