Learning under stress: the inverted-U-shape function revisited

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Maria Isabel Cordero Campana, Basira Salehi

Although the relationship between stress intensity and memory function is generally believed to follow an inverted-U-shaped curve, strikingly this phenomenon has not been demonstrated under the same experimental conditions. We investigated this phenomenon ...

Does perceptual learning suffer from retrograde interference?

Michael Herzog, Carl Kristoffer Aberg

In motor learning, training a task B can disrupt improvements of performance of a previously learned task A, indicating that learning needs consolidation. An influential study suggested that this is the case also for visual perceptual learning [1]. Using t ...

Stress at learning facilitates memory formation by regulating AMPA receptor trafficking through a glucocorticoid action

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Lisa Conboy

Stress and glucocorticoids (GCs) can facilitate memory formation. However, the molecular mechanisms mediating their effects are largely unknown. alpha-Amino-3-hydroxy-5- methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor (AMPAR) trafficking has been implicat ...

Learning, Stress and the Role of Personality Profiles in Rats

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Basira Salehi

Stress has been shown to modulate many aspects of physiology and behavior. In particular, substantial work has confirmed that stress is a strong modulator of learning and memory processes. It is more than a century that Yerkes and Dodson have shown that re ...

Role of NCAM in emotion and learning

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Kamila Markram, Reto Bisaz, Lisa Conboy

NCAM is an abundant cell adhesion molecule known to be important during development. Together with its posttranslational modification consisting of the addition of the polysaccharide polysialic acid (PSA), NCAM has been classically implicated in the regula ...

A novel pathway regulates memory and plasticity via SIRT1 and miR-134

Johannes Gräff

The NAD-dependent deacetylase Sir2 was initially identified as a mediator of replicative lifespan in budding yeast and was subsequently shown to modulate longevity in worms and flies. Its mammalian homologue, SIRT1, seems to have evolved complex systemic r ...

Pro-neurogenesis therapy rescues hippocampal-mediated learning and memory deficits in the ts65dn mouse model of Down syndrome

Diego Ghezzi

Down syndrome (DS) is the most frequent cause of mental retardation in adults and children. It has been proposed that cognitive disabilities associated with DS may be ascribed to neurogenesis impairment during both development and adulthood. This view is s ...

Neurogenesis as therapeutic target to rescue hippocampal-mediated learning and memory deficits in a mouse model of Down syndrome

Diego Ghezzi

Down syndrome (DS) is the most frequent cause of cognitive disability in children and adults. It has been reported that defects in neurogenesis occur both during development and adulthood and possibly underlie cognitive dysfunction associated with DS. Rece ...

Transactions in the Jungle

Rachid Guerraoui, Michal Kapalka, Vasu Singh

Transactional memory (TM) has shown potential to simplify the task of writing concurrent programs. Inspired by classical work on databases, formal definitions of the semantics of TM executions have been proposed. Many of these definitions assumed that acce ...

Disrupting Perceptual Learning

Carl Kristoffer Aberg

Perceptual learning is learning to perceive and is essential for all forms of perception and learning. For a long time it was believed that perceptual learning was a simple process suitable as a model for studying general mechanism of learning. Researchers ...
