Hippocampal Memory Traces Are Differentially Modulated by Experience, Time, and Adult Neurogenesis

Memory traces are believed to be ensembles of cells used to store memories. To visualize memory traces, Denny et al. created a transgenic line that allows for the comparison between cells activated during encoding and expression of a memory.
