Are Memory Specializations in the Brain Defined by the Functional Significance of the Output Messages of Populations of Cells?

From the above discussion it is clear that there are widespread neural codes for spatial and response aspects of task performance across different brain areas, and that these are context- (or memory-) dependent. It is possible that neuromodulators such as dopamine bias the strengths of the output messages according to recent behavioral success. What then is the meaning of the efferent neural code at the population level? What neural mechanisms control this meaning, and how are the outputs of different memory processing areas of the brain coordinated to result in continuously adaptive behaviors? These are some of the big challenges that remain to be addressed before we can fully understand the neural systems basis of multiple memory function. What follows is a suggested approach to future investigations of these big challenges.
