Reinstatement of a stored representation from an incomplete or degraded cue. Recurrent <autoassociative memory> provides one mechanism; its success depends on the cue entering the correct <basin of attraction>. Partial-cue deficits after CA3-targeted <NMDA receptor> deletion support a <hippocampal> role without identifying a unique weight-update rule.<Requirement for hippocampal CA3 NMDA receptors in associative memory recall by Kazu Nakazawa and others>[Abstract; pp. 211–218, adult CA3-restricted deletion and full-cue versus partial-cue recall]{ref}
