Different forms of MARCKS protein are involved in memory formation in the learning process of imprinting.

29 May 2008 There is strong evidence that a restricted part of the chick forebrain, the IMM (formerly IMHV), stores information acquired through the learning process of visual imprinting. Twenty-four hours after imprinting training, a learning-specific increase ... Read more...

Spatial encoding in spinal sensorimotor circuits differs in different wild type mice strains.

19 May 2008 BACKGROUND: Previous studies in the rat have shown that the spatial organisation of the receptive fields of nociceptive withdrawal reflex (NWR) system are functionally adapted through experience dependent mechanisms, termed somatosensory imprinting, ... Read more...

Sleep: the ebb and flow of memory consolidation.

18 May 2008 A new study has shown that successful imprinting in domestic chicks depends on post-training sleep; individual neurons were found to enter, leave and then rejoin neural networks, and may constitute the memory trace of the imprinted ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Imprinting (Psychology)'

Definition: A particular kind of learning characterized by occurrence in very early life, rapidity of acquisition, and relative insusceptibility to forgetting or extinction. Imprinted behavior includes most (or all) behavior commonly called instinctive, but imprinting is used purely descriptively.
