Preface
Associative learning is a common approach to acquire multiple associated signals including knowledge, experiences, and skills from the natural environment or social interaction. Associative memory stands for the integrative storage and reciprocal retrieval of these associated signals, which are essential for cognitive processes, emotional reactions, and behaviors. The revelation of cellular and molecular mechanism underlying associative memory is important for us to understand the principles of memory formation and memory-relevant behaviors as well as to develop the therapeutic strategies that enhance memory capacity in health individuals and improve memory deficit in patients suffering from neurological disease and psychiatric disorders. Neural substrates for associative memory have been studied for centuries. A series of hypotheses is given, such as memory traces, engrams, cell assemblies, and neural plasticity for short-term memory and long-term memory consolidation. However, numerous questions need to be addressed, especially basic units and their working principles in engram circuit specifically for various memory patterns. In addition to memories to the associated signals learned from natural and social environment
