Remote spatial memory and the hippocampus: effect of early and extensive training in the radial maze.

25 Aug 2009 In a previous study we showed a temporally graded retrograde amnesia after hippocampal lesions when rats learned a spatial reference memory task in which two types of signals simultaneously indicated the goal arm (shape of the experimental room and ... Read more...

Retention time of attenuated response to diacetyl after pre-exposure to diacetyl in Caenorhabditis elegans.

30 Jul 2009 The retention time of attenuated chemotactic response to continuous presentation of odorant diacetyl was investigated in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The level of chemotactic response of nematodes pre-exposed to diacetyl for 90 min was ... Read more...

Direct comparisons of the size and persistence of anisomycin-induced consolidation and reconsolidation deficits.

22 Jul 2009 An issue of increasing theoretical interest in the study of learning is to compare the processes that follow an initial learning experience (such as learning an association between a context and a shock; memory consolidation processes) with those ... Read more...
