1. MEMORY A journey from the mind to the molecules -Mr. Arjun Maitra -Assistant Professor Dept. of Physiology PCMS&RC

2. TO MY STUDENTS HERE I HAVE TRIED TO SIMPLIFY THE HUGE SUBJECT WITH ANIMATIONS, DIAGRAMS, FLOW CHARTS & RELEVENT MCQs. DIFFERENT TEXT BOOKS AND REFERENCE BOOKS HAVE BEEN USED FOR PREPARING THE CONTENTS. SLIDES ARE NOT THE SUBSTITUTE REMEMBERTHESE SLIDES ARE NOT THE SUBSTITUTE OF YOUR TEXT BOOKS ANIMATIONS AND DIAGRAMS ARE COLLECTED FROM DIFFERENT WEBSITE SOLELY FOR EDUCATION PURPOSE.
