Zotow, Ewa; Bisby, James A.; Burgess, Neil – Learning & Memory, 2020
An essential feature of episodic memory is the ability to recall the multiple elements relating to one event from the multitude of elements relating to other, potentially similar events. Hippocampal pattern separation is thought to play a fundamental role in this process, by orthogonalizing the representations of overlapping events during…

Robinson, Holly; Pozzo-Miller, Lucas – Learning & Memory, 2019
Gene transcription is a crucial step in the sequence of molecular, synaptic, cellular, and systems mechanisms underlying learning and memory. Here, we review the experimental evidence demonstrating that alterations in the levels and functionality of the methylated DNA-binding transcriptional regulator MeCP2 are implicated in the learning and…

Oruro, Enver Miguel; Pardo, Grace V. E.; Lucion, Aldo Bolten; Calcagnotto, Maria Elisa; Idiart, Marco A. P. – Learning & Memory, 2020
During the first ten postnatal days (P), infant rodents can learn olfactory preferences for novel odors if they are paired with thermo-tactile stimuli that mimic components of maternal care. After P10, the thermo-tactile pairing becomes ineffective for conditioning. The current explanation for this change in associative learning is the alteration…

Arkell, Daisy; Groves, Isabelle; Wood, Emma R.; Hardt, Oliver – Learning & Memory, 2021
Reducing sensory experiences during the period that immediately follows learning improves long-term memory retention in healthy humans, and even preserves memory in patients with amnesia. To date, it is entirely unclear why this is the case, and identifying the neurobiological mechanisms underpinning this effect requires suitable animal models,…

Ozubko, Jason D.; Moscovitch, Morris; Winocur, Gordon – Learning & Memory, 2017
Prior representations affect future learning. Little is known, however, about the effects of recollective or familiarity-based representations on such learning. We investigate the ability to reuse or reassociate elements from recollection- and familiarity-based associations to form new associations. Past neuropsychological research suggests that…

Wong, J. Y. Hilary; Wan, Bo Angela; Bland, Tom; Montagnese, Marcella; McLachlan, Alex D.; O'Kane, Cahir J.; Zhang, Shuo Wei; Masuda-Nakagawa, Liria M. – Learning & Memory, 2021
Discrimination of sensory signals is essential for an organism to form and retrieve memories of relevance in a given behavioral context. Sensory representations are modified dynamically by changes in behavioral state, facilitating context-dependent selection of behavior, through signals carried by noradrenergic input in mammals, or octopamine (OA)…

Jordan, Jake T.; Tong, Yi; Pytte, Carolyn L. – Learning & Memory, 2022
Plasticity is a neural phenomenon in which experience induces long-lasting changes to neuronal circuits and is at the center of most neurobiological theories of learning and memory. However, too much plasticity is maladaptive and must be balanced with substrate stability. Area CA3 of the hippocampus provides such a balance via hemispheric…

The Role of the Gustatory Cortex in Incidental Experience-Evoked Enhancement of Later Taste Learning
Flores, Veronica L.; Parmet, Tamar; Mukherjee, Narendra; Nelson, Sacha; Katz, Donald B.; Levitan, David – Learning & Memory, 2018
The strength of learned associations between pairs of stimuli is affected by multiple factors, the most extensively studied of which is prior experience with the stimuli themselves. In contrast, little data is available regarding how experience with "incidental" stimuli (independent of any conditioning situation) impacts later learning.…

Keiser, Ashley A.; Wood, Marcelo A. – Learning & Memory, 2019
The epigenome serves as a signal integration platform that encodes information from experience and environment that adds tremendous complexity to the regulation of transcription required for memory, beyond the directions encoded in the genome. To date, our understanding of how epigenetic mechanisms integrate information to regulate gene expression…

Bjorni, Max; Rovero, Natalie G.; Yang, Elissa R.; Holmes, Andrew; Halladay, Lindsay R. – Learning & Memory, 2020
While results from many past studies have implicated the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) in mediating the expression of sustained negative affect, recent studies have highlighted a more complex role for BNST that includes aspects of fear learning in addition to defensive responding. As BNST is thought to encode ambiguous or…

Oruro, Enver Miguel; Pardo, Grace V. E.; Lucion, Aldo B.; Calcagnotto, Maria Elisa; Idiart, Marco A. P. – Learning & Memory, 2020
Studies have shown that neonate rodents exhibit high ability to learn a preference for novel odors associated with thermo-tactile stimuli that mimics maternal care. Artificial odors paired with vigorous strokes in rat pups younger than 10 postnatal days (P), but not older, rapidly induce an orientation-approximation behavior toward the conditioned…

Ilse, Arne; Prameswari, Virginia; Kahl, Evelyn; Fendt, Markus – Learning & Memory, 2019
Trait anxiety is considered to be a risk factor for anxiety disorders. The aim of the present study was to investigate how trait anxiety affects associative learning during and after an aversive event in laboratory rats. For this, rats were first submitted to a light-dark box test, followed by relief, safety, and fear learning. Our data…

Goode, Travis D.; Maren, Stephen – Learning & Memory, 2017
Surviving threats in the environment requires brain circuits for detecting (or anticipating) danger and for coordinating appropriate defensive responses (e.g., increased cardiac output, stress hormone release, and freezing behavior). The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) is a critical interface between the "affective…

Hennings, Augustin C.; Lewis-Peacock, Jarrod A.; Dunsmoor, Joseph E. – Learning & Memory, 2021
An adaptive memory system should prioritize information surrounding a powerful learning event that may prove useful for predicting future meaningful events. The behavioral tagging hypothesis provides a mechanistic framework to interpret how weak experiences persist as durable memories through temporal association with a strong experience. Memories…

Travaglia, Alessio; Steinmetz, Adam B.; Miranda, Janelle M.; Alberini, Christina M. – Learning & Memory, 2018
Episodic memories in early childhood are rapidly forgotten, a phenomenon that is associated with "infantile amnesia," the inability of adults to remember early-life experiences. We recently showed that early aversive contextual memory in infant rats, which is in fact rapidly forgotten, is actually not lost, as reminders presented later…
