Long-term potentiation and memory.
Physiological reviews2004200 influential citationsOne of the most significant challenges in neuroscience is to identify the cellular and molecular processes that underlie learning and memory formation. The past decade has seen remarkable progress in understanding changes that accompany…
Memory reconsolidation and extinction have distinct temporal and biochemical signatures.
The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience2004200 influential citationsMemory retrieval is not a passive phenomenon. Instead, it triggers a number of processes that either reinforce or alter stored information. Retrieval is thought to activate a second memory consolidation cascade (reconsolidation) that…
Modeling hippocampal and neocortical contributions to recognition memory: a complementary-learning-systems approach.
Psychological review2003200 influential citationsThe authors present a computational neural-network model of how the hippocampus and medial temporal lobe cortex (MTLC) contribute to recognition memory. The hippocampal component contributes by recalling studied details. The MTLC component…
The involvement of the anterior cingulate cortex in remote contextual fear memory.
Science (New York, N.Y.)2004159 influential citationsAlthough the molecular, cellular, and systems mechanisms required for initial memory processing have been intensively investigated, those underlying permanent memory storage remain elusive. We present neuroanatomical, pharmacological, and…
Enrichment induces structural changes and recovery from nonspatial memory deficits in CA1 NMDAR1-knockout mice.
Nature neuroscience2000137 influential citationsWe produced CA1-specific NMDA receptor 1 subunit-knockout (CA1-KO) mice to determine the NMDA receptor dependence of nonspatial memory formation and of experience-induced structural plasticity in the CA1 region. CA1-KO mice were profoundly…
Interaction between the amygdala and the medial temporal lobe memory system predicts better memory for emotional events.
Neuron2004126 influential citationsEmotional events are remembered better than neutral events possibly because the amygdala enhances the function of medial temporal lobe (MTL) memory system (modulation hypothesis). Although this hypothesis has been supported by much animal…
Delay-dependent impairment of a matching-to-place task with chronic and intrahippocampal infusion of the NMDA-antagonist D-AP5.
Hippocampus1999112 influential citationsWe investigated the role of NMDA receptors in memory encoding and retrieval. A delayed matching-to-place (DMP) paradigm in the watermaze was used to examine 1-trial spatial memory in rats. Over periods of up to 21 days, 4 daily trials were…
Effects of neuromodulation in a cortical network model of object working memory dominated by recurrent inhibition.
Journal of computational neuroscience200199 influential citationsExperimental evidence suggests that the maintenance of an item in working memory is achieved through persistent activity in selective neural assemblies of the cortex. To understand the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon, it is essential…
Memory consolidation of auditory pavlovian fear conditioning requires protein synthesis and protein kinase A in the amygdala.
The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience200095 influential citationsPrevious studies have shown that long-term potentiation (LTP) can be induced in the lateral nucleus of the amygdala (LA) after stimulation of central auditory pathways and that auditory fear conditioning modifies neural activity in the LA…
Reversible neural inactivation reveals hippocampal participation in several memory processes.
Nature neuroscience199994 influential citationsStudies of patients and animals with brain lesions have implicated the hippocampal formation in spatial, declarative/relational and episodic types of memory. These and other types of memory consist of a series of interdependent but…
