✦ Synopsis

Mathematical modelling is used to examine the effects of T cell apoptosis and memory differentiation dynamics on memory retention (memory stability). Apoptosis by cytokine deprivation induced death, and competition for survival signals are incorporated. Our models indicate that such population dependent processes are essential for the preservation of specific memory to previously encountered pathogens. Memory stability and vaccination properties improve significantly when population dependent mechanisms are present. These mechanisms work synergistically together to further improve memory characteristics. Our models emphasize the role of competitive cellular mechanisms in regulating repertoire structure and characteristics.

The correlation between properties of the T cell memory pool and the two regulatory mechanisms of cell death (apoptosis) and memory entry (differentiation) is investigated mathematically. Apoptosis of T cells occurs at the end of an immune response, removing unwanted activated T cells. T cells escap

## Abstract One way that some types of short‐term or working memory may be implemented in the brain is by using autoassociation networks that recirculate information to maintain the firing of a subset of neurons in what is termed an attractor state. We describe how long‐term synaptic modification i
