As implied by the work of Karim Nader, inhibiting AMPA receptors should prevent memory destabilization.

Karl Lashley invented the term engram.

Cue-dependent amnesia refers to the forgetting induced by the retrieval of another memory.

Neurons that overexpress CREB win in the competition for becoming engram cells because their intrinsic excitability is increased.

Brain lesion techniques can be considered a starting point in the search for engrams.

Immediate early gene markers for of neural activity do not persist long enough to serve as markers for long-term memory engram cells.

According to active trace theory, retrieving a consolidated memory is enough to disrupt it.

Neurons that overexpress CREB win in the competition for becoming engram cells because when activated by the behavioral experience, CREB targets more memory genes that other cells.

Hebb’s concept of a cell assembly is still generally accepted as correct.

If engram cells are deleted, it should have no effect on retrieval.
