Assessing the Effects of Momentary Priming On Memory Retention During An Interference Task
A memory aid, that used brief (33ms) presentations of previously learned information (target words), was assessed on its ability to reinforce memory for target words while the subject was performing an interference task. The interference task required subjects to learn new words and thus interfered …

The Steroid Sulfatase Inhibitor (p-O-Sulfamoyl) - Tetradecanoyl Tyramine (DU-14) Enhances Memory Retention in Passive Avoidance in Rats with Hippocampal Cholinergic Deficit
… sulfated neurosteroids is the enhancement of memory. Previous studies have demonstrated that altering the metabolism of neurosteroids via inhibition of the enzyme steroid sulfatase could reverse scopolamine-induced amnesia. p-O-(Sulfamoyl) - tetradecanoyl tyramine (DU-14) is a steroid …

Sleep, Memory, and Aging: Effects of Pre- and Post-Sleep Delays and Interference on Memory in Younger and Older Adults
… investigated the relationship between sleep and memory in younger and older adults. Previous research has demonstrated that during the deep sleep stage: i.e., slow wave sleep), recently learned memories are reactivated and consolidated in younger adults. However, little research has examined …

NREM sleep spindles and slow wave sleep in younger and elderly women: an investigation of their influence on declarative memory consolidation
… spindles play an essential role in declarative memory consolidation. However, this role is not well understood in the ageing women. With advancing age, SWS and sleep spindles undergo significant decreases in duration and density, while there is a simultaneous decline in declarative memory. The …

The Relationship Between Affect in Dreams and Emotional Memory Consolidation
… in various neurocognitive processes such as memory consolidation, however, an area that has not been fully researched is the role of dreaming in these memory processes. This study aimed to determine the relationship between affect experienced in dreams and emotional memory consolidation. …

Synthesis and Characterization of Ferroelectric (1-x)SrBi2Ta2O9-xBi3TaTiO9 thin films for Non-volatile memory Applications
… to SrBi2Ta2O9: a leading candidate material for memory applications. A pyrochlore free crystalline phase was obtained at a low annealing temperature of 600 oC and grain size was found to be considerably increased for the (1-x)SrBi2Ta2O9-xBi3TaTiO9 compositions. The film properties were found to …

Narrative message and virtual reality: the impact of telepresence and transportation on consumer learning in the real estate industry
… type and VR type. Viewers had the highest memory retention when they listened to a narrative style voiceover accompanying a non-immersive VR property tour. The adoption of the different types of VRs and voiceover strategies in real estate marketing are discussed.

Memory Performance in Children with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Neocortical vs. Dual Pathologies
This study investigated memory in children with temporal lobe epilepsy and the ability to discern hippocampal dysfunction with conventional memory tests that are typically used to detect more global memory impairment. All data was obtained retrospectively from the epilepsy surgery program at a …

A study of the implementation of virtual instrumentation in university laboratory environments
… those relating to increased student interest, memory retention, understanding and ultimately performance in laboratory reports. The virtual experiments discussed in this study are redesigned versions of traditional style experiments and hence a direct comparison of newer CBL techniques to …

Characterization of memories and ignorant (S6KII) mutants in operant conditioning in the heat-box
Learning and memory processes of operant conditioning in the heat-box were analysed. Age, sex, and larval desity were not critical parameters influencing memory, while low or high activity levels of flies were negatively correlated with their performance. In a search for conditioning parameters …

The role of Igf2 methylation and histone ubiquitination in age-related memory decline
… one of the major brain regions associated with memory formation, and is one of the first regions impacted in dementia and AD. Although research indicates that molecular mechanisms within the hippocampus become dysregulated with age, the underlying reasons are still not well understood. …

Stress-Related Effects of Phoenixin on Nucleus of the Solitary Tract Neurons
… including anxiety-like behavior, nociception, memory retention, and food intake. With a robust pattern of expression to compliment these physiological actions, it is clear that PNX plays a pleiotropic role. The nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), a critical autonomic integrating center in the …

Organic molecular floating gate memories
Flash memory devices dominate the non-volatile memory market, with device structures that utilize charge storage in polysilicon floating gates imbedded in insulating silicon oxide films'. As demands for high storage density, high chip memory capacity, and decreasing process costs continue to mount, …

Role of NMDA in the Visual Working Memory of the Macaque Monkey
Working memory refers to the ability to retain information for short periods of time to guide future behavior. This type of short-term memory has been shown to play an important role in mental disorders such as schizophrenia and therefore further investigations into the neural basis of this …

Non-proteolytic roles of the ubiquitin-proteasome system in memory formation across the lifespan
Memory formation and decline are driven by complex molecular mechanisms and region-specific changes in the brain. Epigenetic modifications, such as histone monoubiquitination and ubiquitin signaling, have emerged as key players in these processes. While monoubiquitination of histone H2B is a …
