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 ...

Stress-induced cognitive and psychopathological alterations

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Reto Bisaz

Intensive research over the past few years has provided evidence, that stress is a potent modulator of brain function and cognition. In particular cognitive and emotional processes have been shown to be susceptible to modulation by stress. Whereas acute st ...

Mental time in amnesia: evidence from bilateral medial temporal damage before and after recovery

Olaf Blanke

The human mind is continuously involved in "projecting" the self in time in order to process past memories and predict future occurrences. "Self-projection" in time involves episodic and spatial memory, relying on medial-temporal structures, but also engag ...

Stress effects on working memory, explicit memory, and implicit memory for neutral and emotional stimuli in healthy men

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Stress is a strong modulator of memory function. However, memory is not a unitary process and stress seems to exert different effects depending on the memory type under study. Here, we explored the impact of social stress on different aspects of human memo ...

Multiversion concurrency control for the generalized search tree

Boi Faltings, Ion Constantinescu, Samuel Spycher

Many read-intensive systems where fast access to data is more important than the rate at which data can change make use of multidimensional index structures, like the generalized search tree (GiST). Although in these systems the indexed data are rarely upd ...

Short chosen-prefix collisions for MD5 and the creation of a rogue CA certificate

Arjen Lenstra, Dag Arne Osvik

We present a refined chosen-prefix collision construction for MD5 that allowed creation of a rogue Certification Authority (CA) certificate, based on a collision with a regular end-user website certificate provided by a commercial CA. Compared to the previ ...

Self in time: imagined self-location influences neural activity related to mental time travel

Olaf Blanke

Conscious awareness of the self as continuous through time is attributed to the human ability to remember the past and to predict the future, a cogitation that has been called "mental time travel" (MTT). MTT allows one to re-experience one's own past by su ...

Memory formation in the motor cortex ipsilateral to a training hand

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Julie Duqué

Cortical reorganization within the primary motor cortex (M1) contralateral to a practicing hand has been extensively investigated. The extent to which the ipsilateral M1 participates in these plastic changes is not known. Here, we evaluated the influence o ...

Abnormal fear conditioning and amygdala processing in an animal model of autism

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Henry Markram, Deborah La Mendola, Kamila Markram, Tania Rinaldi

A core feature of autism spectrum disorders is the impairment in social interactions. Among other brain regions, a deficit in amygdala processing has been suggested to underlie this impairment, but whether the amygdala is processing fear abnormally in auti ...

Consensus: "Can tDCS and TMS enhance motor learning and memory formation?"

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Noninvasive brain stimulation has developed as a promising tool for cognitive neuroscientists. Transcranial magnetic (TMS) and direct current (tDCS) stimulation allow researchers to purposefully enhance or decrease excitability in focal areas of the brain. ...
