The Dissociation of Sensory Integration and Associative Learning in Caenorhabditis elegans and the Molecular Mechanisms Leading to Memory Acquisition
… The expression of scd-2 is necessary for the acquisition of associative memories of pathogenic bacteria, but not memory recall. This was discovered by using a drug (designed to target the mammalian ortholog of SCD-2) to block SCD-2 activity selectively during training or testing to pathogenic …

The effects of confidence and intention to learn on performance in reading comprehension tests
… designed to better our understanding of human memory acquisition and recall by investigating what role, if any, confidence plays in tasks of academic performance and attempting to provide construct validity to the concept of intent to learn and its related principles of deep processing, …

Effects of Chronic Moderate Sleep Restriction and Exercise on Cancer, Anxiety-Related Behavior, and Memory of Mice
… exercise on sleep, carcinogenesis, anxiety, and memory. In experiment 1, C57BL/6 mice were randomized to one of three 14-day treatments: (1) sleep restriction + sedentary; (2) normal sleep + exercise; (3) sleep restriction + exercise. Mice in the sleep restriction treatments were prevented from …

Age sensitivity of the Barnes Maze and the Morris Water Maze: Associations with cerebellar cortical Purkinje neurons
… was to examine age-related changes in spatial memory and its neurobiological substrates as assessed by the Morris water maze (MWM) and the Barnes maze. The MWM is one of the most widely used tests of spatial memory and numerous studies suggest that spatial memory abilities decline with age. To …

Structural and functional heterogeneity of cells in the rat hippocampus
Memory is encoded in the structure and function of the hippocampus. The laminar structure and organization of information flow are well established. The dentate gyrus (DG) is the initial layer that receives and parses incoming signals. The signal is then transmitted to the CA3 and subsequently the …

The Role of Rac1 in Synaptic Plasticity, Learning and Memory
During the process of learning and memory, neuronal synapses undergo changes involving gene expression, protein synthesis, and cytoarchitectural remodeling, referred to as synaptic plasticity. Changes in the morphology of synapses are necessary for learning and memory storage, and require the …

EFFECTS OF HYPERTONIC SALINE ON RECOVERY OF FUNCTION FOLLOWING CONTROLLED CORTICAL IMPACT BRAIN INJURY
… that all groups had significant retention of memory compared to injured, Vehicle-treated animals. Working memory was also assessed on days 18-20 using the MWM. The NAM and Vehicle groups quickly acquired the task; however, HS animals showed no acquisition of this task. Histological …

Investigating the role of AMPAkines in an animal model of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
… antidepressant action, and to improve short-term memory in humans. The aims of this study were firstly to study the effects of the ampakine, Org 26576, on spatial memory performance in healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats. Secondly, since PTSD is associated with pronounced deficits in cognition, we …

HIV-1 INFECTION OF NEURAL STEM CELLS RESULTS IN COGNITIVE DEFICITS THROUGH ADULT NEUROGENIC MODULATION
… to modulate olfactory stimuli and aid in memory acquisition/consolidation processes. Most of previous studies on the role of HIV-1 in neurogenesis focused on single viral proteins rather than the entire integrated proviral genome, and did not correlate these neurogenic deficits to …
