Delaying interference enhances memory consolidation in amnesic patients.

30 Aug 2009 Some patients with amnesia are able to retain new information for much longer than expected when the time that follows new learning is devoid of further stimuli. Animal work shows that the absence or delaying of interference improves long-term ... Read more...

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...

Reduced false memory after sleep.

23 Aug 2009 Several studies have shown that sleep contributes to the successful maintenance of previously encoded information. This research has focused exclusively on memory for studied events, as opposed to false memories. Here we report three experiments ... Read more...
