Memory consolidation

Memory consolidation is a molecular process by which long-term conductivity of synapses is affected. Memory consolidation occurs after training or a single exposition to a stimulus-response pair. Memory re-consolidation occurs upon review or repetition of the learned material. Maximum consolidation with minimum time investment is achieved by means of spaced repetition

Consolidation is also used used to refer to hypothetical process by which newly formed memories (stored and/or accessed using a part of the brain called the hippocampus) are transferred to other parts of the brain.
