The hippocampus appears to undergo continual representational reorganization as animals navigate their environments. This reorganization is postulated to be reflected spatially in terms of changes in the ensemble of place cells activated, as well as changes in place field specificity and reliability

Alterations in neuronal morphology occur in the brain during normal aging, but vary depending on neuronal cell types and brain regions. Such alterations have been related to memory and cognitive impairment. Changes in hippocampal spine densities are thought to represent a morphological correlate of
## Abstract Memory consolidation in mammalian brain is accompanied by widespread reorganization of synaptic contacts and dendritic structure. Understanding of the proteinβprotein interactions that underlie these structural changes has been hampered by the difficulty of studying proteinβprotein inte
