title: Some principles emerging from the study of short- and long-term memory.
abstract: Recent studies indicate that in invertebrates short-term memory for various forms of learning involves covalent modifications of pre-existing proteins. By contrast, long-term memory utilizes genes and proteins not required for short-term memory.
