The role of behavioral changes in shaping memory functions in animals is a critical area of research in neuroscience and behavioral science. This study explores how various environmental, physiological, and psychological factors can induce behavioral changes in animals and the subsequent effects on their memory processes. By analyzing different behavioral models, including learning, stress, and habituation, this research seeks to understand how changes in behavior influence cognitive functions, particularly memory consolidation, retention, and recall. The paper reviews experimental studies involving different animal species and examines how alterations in behavior, such as anxiety, motivation, and social interaction, can either enhance or impair memory processing. Understanding these relationships has significant implications for developing strategies to improve cognitive function and for managing neurodegenerative disorders. This research further highlights the importance of a holistic approach to studying memory in animals, taking into account the complex interactions between behavior and neural processes.
