Shen, Xinxu; Ballard, Ian C.; Smith, David V.; Murty, Vishnu P. – Learning & Memory, 2022
Humans actively seek information to reduce uncertainty, providing insight on how our decisions causally affect the world. While we know that episodic memories can help support future goal-oriented behaviors, little is known about how hypothesis testing during exploration influences episodic memory. To investigate this question, we designed a…

Nagayoshi, Taikai; Ishikawa, Rie; Kida, Satoshi – Learning & Memory, 2022
Fear generalization is one of the main symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder. In rodents, the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and the hippocampus (HPC) control the expression of contextual fear memory generalization. Consistently, ACC projections to the ventral HPC contribute to contextual fear generalization. However, the roles of ACC…

Shields, Grant S.; Hunter, Colton L.; Yonelinas, Andrew P. – Learning & Memory, 2022
The effects of acute stress on memory encoding are complex. Recent work has suggested that both the delay between stress and encoding and the relevance of the information learned to the stressor may modulate the effects of stress on memory encoding, but the relative contribution of each of these two factors is unclear. Therefore, in the present…

Creighton, Samantha D.; Jardine, Kristen H.; Desimone, Alexa; Zmetana, Megan; Castellano, Sabrina; Milite, Ciro; Sbardella, Gianluca; Winters, Boyer D. – Learning & Memory, 2022
Histone acetylation, catalyzed by e, has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy in Alzheimer's disease (AD). By longitudinally characterizing spatial memory at 3, 6, and 9 mo of age, we show that acute activation and inhibition of the histone acetyltransferase PCAF remediated memory impairments in 3xTG-AD mice in an age-related bidirectional…

Oberländer, Kristin; Witte, Victoria; Mallien, Anne Stephanie; Gass, Peter; Bengtson, C. Peter; Bading, Hilmar – Learning & Memory, 2022
Differences in the learning associated transcriptional profiles between mouse strains with distinct learning abilities could provide insight into the molecular basis of learning and memory. The inbred mouse strain DBA/2 shows deficits in hippocampus-dependent memory, yet the transcriptional responses to learning and the underlying mechanisms of…

Shultz, Brianna; Farkash, Abigail; Collins, Bailey; Mohammadmirzaei, Negin; Knox, Dayan – Learning & Memory, 2022
NMDA receptors (NMDARs) and AMPA receptors (AMPARs) in amygdala nuclei and the dorsal hippocampus (dHipp) are critical for fear conditioning. Enhancements in synaptic AMPAR expression in amygdala nuclei and the dHipp are critical for fear conditioning, with some studies observing changes in AMPAR expression across many neurons in these brain…

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…

Szollosi, Ágnes; Kéri, Szabolcs; Racsmány, Mihály – Learning & Memory, 2022
Some previous studies have shown that increased stress hormone levels have beneficial effects on memory encoding; however, there is no clear consensus on which encoding-related processes are affected by stress hormones. In the present study, we investigated the relationship between interindividual differences in neuroendocrine response to acute…

Schultz, Heidrun; Yoo, Jungsun; Meshi, Dar; Heekeren, Hauke R. – Learning & Memory, 2022
The medial temporal lobe (MTL), including the hippocampus (HC), perirhinal cortex (PRC), and parahippocampal cortex (PHC), is central to memory formation. Reward enhances memory through interplay between the HC and substantia nigra/ventral tegmental area (SNVTA). While the SNVTA also innervates the MTL cortex and amygdala (AMY), their role in…

Vasudevan, Krithika; Ramanathan, Karthik R.; Vierkant, Valerie; Maren, Stephen – Learning & Memory, 2022
Recent data reveal that the thalamic nucleus reuniens (RE) has a critical role in the extinction of conditioned fear. Muscimol (MUS) infusions into the RE impair within-session extinction of conditioned freezing and result in poor long-term extinction memories in rats. Although this suggests that RE inactivation impairs extinction learning, it is…

Beamish, Sarah B.; Gross, Kellie S.; Anderson, McKenna M.; Helmstetter, Fred J.; Frick, Karyn M. – Learning & Memory, 2022
The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) is a primary mechanism through which proteins are degraded in cells. UPS activity in the dorsal hippocampus (DH) is necessary for multiple types of memory, including object memory, in male rodents. However, sex differences in DH UPS activation after fear conditioning suggest that other forms of learning may…

Cawley-Bennett, Andrew T. J.; Frascino, Jennifer C.; Asp, Isabel E.; Golshan, Shahrokh; Bondi, Mark W.; Luo, Zhishang; Smith, Christine N. – Learning & Memory, 2022
Novel tests of semantic memory (SM)--for example, memory for news events (NE; news facts) or famous personalities--are useful for estimating the severity of retrograde amnesia. Individuals with mild cognitive impairment exhibit relatively intact SM/language on traditional neuropsychological tests but exhibit consistent impairment on novel tests of…

Schultz, Heidrun; Sommer, Tobias; Peters, Jan – Learning & Memory, 2022
During associative retrieval, the brain reinstates neural representations that were present during encoding. The human medial temporal lobe (MTL), with its subregions hippocampus (HC), perirhinal cortex (PRC), and parahippocampal cortex (PHC), plays a central role in neural reinstatement. Previous studies have given compelling evidence for…

Sorokowska, Agnieszka; Nord, Marie; Stefanczyk, Michal Mikolaj; Larsson, Maria – Learning & Memory, 2022
Reinstating the olfactory learning context can increase access to memory information, but it is not fully clear which memory functions are subject to an enhancing odor context reinstatement effect. Here, we tested whether congruent odor context during encoding and recall positively affected declarative and nondeclarative memory scores using a…

Sayegh, Fares; Herraiz, Laurie; Colom, Morgane; Lopez, Sébastien; Rampon, Claire; Dahan, Lionel – Learning & Memory, 2022
Dopamine participates in encoding memories and could either encode rewarding/aversive value of unconditioned stimuli or act as a novelty signal triggering contextual learning. Here we show that intraperitoneal injection of the dopamine D1/5R antagonist SCH23390 impairs contextual fear conditioning and tone-shock association, while intrahippocampal…
