The documented control by hypothalamus-unique transmitters, such as orexin and MCH, of synaptic strength in isolated brain slice preparations implies a primary role for the hypothalamus in synaptic weight updating, rather than a secondary role due to changes in arousal/attention/motivation states (which are absent in brain slices). Such hypothalamic control of memory-related synaptic machinery may enable gating/thresholding/permissive/tagging operations within yet poorly defined logic gates for memory updating. Hypothalamic signals ma
