Working Memory Vs Short term memory

Will*I*AM — Fri, 16 May 2008 08:40:35 GMT

When I was reading the Lecture on High brain function, it was stated that bilateral lesions of ventral hippocampus will affect short-term memory but working memory, remote memory and implicit memory will be OK.

My question is what is the difference between Short-term memory and working memory ? I think that they are pretty much the same.

So I search the yahoo answer and found this.

They are related concepts with different histories. Primary memory is the term used by William James ...

Will*I*AM — Tue, 06 May 2008 16:19:13 GMT

Lecture 6: Generation of Action Potential

On Page 2 Third slide, the notes says that ligand-gated channel open or close in response to a specific chemical stimulus (neurotransmitter, hormones, ions) directly or indirectly (second messenger system). The example given is Na+ inward, Ca2+ inward and K+ outward. I know that the ACh can bind to the receptor at post-synaptic membrane and causes influx of sodium. But i dunno what condition can cause the influx of calcium ions and efflux of potassium ...

New dorsen at Anatomy Lab

Will*I*AM — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 14:48:16 GMT

neurotransmitter lecture question

woan shiang — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 16:10:43 GMT

during the neurotransmitter lecture, william asked a very good question-one of the neurotransmitter characteristic is that it is produced in the presynaptic end bulb. but epinephrine and norepinephrine are produced in the adrenal gland,why they are still considered as neurotransmitter?

the answer is actually very easy. neurotransmitter is neurotransmitter;hormone is hormone;don't mix it up........

for norepinephrine and epinephrine, it is a neurotransmitter when it is released from ...
