Preface
Synaptic tagging was first proposed by Frey and Morris in 1997 and is now widely referred to as synaptic tagging and capture (STC). STC provides a conceptual basis for how short-term memory is transformed into long-term memory in a time-dependent fashion. The idea of publishing a book on STC was conceptualized during the Eighth Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) meeting held on July 14–18, 2012, in Barcelona, Spain. We had a symposium on tagging covering the latest developments in the field, chaired by Richard Morris. The focus of this book is on STC and it is intended to inform the reader about the current understanding of STC, 17 years after its first discovery
