How does the brain store and retrieve information over time? The accepted notion that these processes rely on the neuronal ensembles that were active during learning is now challenged by findings by our lab and others that reveal that different neurons and networks than those that were active during learning support persistent memory. Most notably, we found that the long-term persistence of spatial memory is correlated with the degree to which neuronal activity is spatially informative, but not with the stability of the coding carried by individual neurons. These discoveries—obtained via novel imaging technologies that enable, for the first time, to track large populations of the same…
