Neuroscience: memory and executive functions on the relationship between portuguese language teaching and political awareness by Aline Lorandi, Flávia Azambuja

“…The results presented here embrace the teaching project, the inferences during the implementation of the teaching project, and the memory consolidation test by a group conversation. In doing so, we argue for the importance of Neuroscience as an ally to Education to help us think of strategies that consider the functioning of the brain and, therefore, enhance student success.…”

Memory-enhancing effects of short-term fasting by Y. Totani, J. Nakai, D. Hatakeyama, E. Ito

“…The results of the present study suggest that cascades from insulin receptor activation to new protein synthesis are involved in the enhancing effects of short-term fasting on memory consolidation and recall.…”

Sleep and memory problems: acetylcholine in some neurodegenerative diseases, use of an extended-release formulation of galantamine by I V Litvinenko

“…Low AC levels during slow-wave sleep are critical for declarative (verbal) memory consolidation. An abnormal nocturnal reduction in cholinergic activity can worsen memory problems and provoke sleep deterioration. …”

Contribution of transcranial oscillatory stimulation to research on neural networks: An emphasis on hippocampo-neocortical rhythms by Lisa eMarshall, Sonja eBinder

“…In this mini-review we will first give a background leading up to the present day association between specific oscillations and their functional relevance for learning and memory consolidation. Following, some principles on oscillatory activity are summarized and finally results of studies employing slowly oscillating transcranial electric stimulation are given. …”

Memory: Neurobiological mechanisms and assessment by Swaleha Mujawar, Jaideep Patil, Bhushan Chaudhari, Daniel Saldanha

“…The process of memory consolidation is done in the hippocampus. The long-term memories are spread among various areas of the cerebrum depending on the different perceptual properties. …”

Use-dependent plasticity in clock neurons regulates sleep need in Drosophila. by Donlea, J, Ramanan, N, Shaw, P

“…Sleep is important for memory consolidation and is responsive to waking experience. …”

Play it again: reactivation of waking experience and memory. by O'Neill, J, Pleydell-Bouverie, B, Dupret, D, Csicsvari, J

“…Although the mechanisms remain uncertain, there is a growing consensus that such SWR-directed reactivation of brain-wide memory traces could underlie memory consolidation.…”

The effect of interictal epileptic discharges and following spindles on motor sequence learning in epilepsy patients by Toshiki Okadome, Takahiro Yamaguchi, Takahiko Mukaino, Ayumi Sakata, Katsuya Ogata, Hiroshi Shigeto, Noriko Isobe, Taira Uehara, Taira Uehara

“…Sleep spindles appearing in synchronization with IEDs were recently demonstrated to impair memory consolidation in rat, but this has not been investigated in humans. …”

Two parallel medial prefrontal cortex-amygdala pathways mediate memory deficits via glutamatergic projection in surgery mice by Xiao-Yu Sun, Le Liu, Yu-Tong Song, Tong Wu, Teng Zheng, Jing-Ru Hao, Jun-Li Cao, Can Gao

“…We find that surgery impairs memory consolidation but not retrieval of consolidated memories. …”

Prodromal dysfunction of α5GABA-A receptor modulated hippocampal ripples occurs prior to neurodegeneration in the TgF344-AD rat model of Alzheimer's disease by Marcia H. Ratner, Scott S. Downing, Ouyang Guo, KathrynAnn E. Odamah, Tara M. Stewart, Vidhya Kumaresan, R. Jonathan Robitsek, Weiming Xia, David H. Farb

“…As α5GABA-A receptors are found at extrasynaptic and synaptic contacts, we posit that negative modulation of α5GABA-A receptor mediated tonic as well as phasic inhibition augments CA1 ripples and memory consolidation but that this modulatory mechanism is lost at an early stage of AD onset.…”

3177 Determining mechanisms underlying hippocampal network disruption in early amyloid pathology by Adam Caccavano, P. Lorenzo Bozzelli, Katherine Conant, Stefano Vicini

“…As hippocampal network activity is critical for memory consolidation, these effects contribute to our understanding of memory disruption during early disease progression, which has been poorly understood to date. …”

Sigma oscillations protect or reinstate motor memory depending on their temporal coordination with slow waves by Judith Nicolas, Bradley R King, David Levesque, Latifa Lazzouni, Emily Coffey, Stephan Swinnen, Julien Doyon, Julie Carrier, Genevieve Albouy

“…Targeted memory reactivation (TMR) during post-learning sleep is known to enhance motor memory consolidation but the underlying neurophysiological processes remain unclear. …”

Divergence in Morris Water Maze-Based Cognitive Performance under Chronic Stress Is Associated with the Hippocampal Whole Transcriptomic Modification in Mice by Seung H. Jung, Milene L. Brownlow, Milene L. Brownlow, Matteo Pellegrini, Ryan Jankord

“…The hippocampus, a brain region of memory consolidation, is vulnerable to stressful environments, and the impact of stress on hippocampus may determine individual variability in cognitive performance. …”

Hippocampal sharp-wave ripples in awake mice are entrained by respiration by Yu Liu, Samuel S. McAfee, Detlef H. Heck

“…Sharp-wave ripples (SWRs) are high-frequency local field potential activity patterns characteristic for the hippocampus and implicated in memory consolidation and recall. Here we show that the timing of SWR events is modulated by the respiratory cycle, with a significantly increased probability of SWRs during the early expiration phase. …”

The hormonal Zeitgeber melatonin: Role as a circadian modulator in memory processing by Oliver eRawashdeh, Erik eMaronde

“…We also discuss, how the circadian system by generating cycling melatonin levels can implant information about daytime into memory processing, depicted as day and nighttime differences in acquisition, memory consolidation and/or retrieval.…”

The Engram’s Dark Horse: How Interneurons Regulate State-Dependent Memory Processing and Plasticity by Frank Raven, Sara J. Aton

“…Recent studies have highlighted the role of engram neurons–populations of neurons activated during learning–in subsequent memory consolidation and recall. These engram populations are generally assumed to be glutamatergic, and the vast majority of data regarding the function of engram neurons have focused on glutamatergic pyramidal or granule cell populations in either the hippocampus, amygdala, or neocortex. …”

Role of cerebellum in sleep-dependent memory processes by Andrew Jackson, Wei Xu

“…However, recent neurophysiological studies have shown that not only does the cerebellum participate in the sleep cycle, but it may also be implicated in off-line memory consolidation. Here we review the literature on cerebellar activity during sleep and the role it plays in off-line motor learning, and introduce a hypothesis whereby the cerebellum continues to compute internal models during sleep that train the neocortex.…”

HOW THE HUMAN BRAIN LEARNS AND MEMORIES AND HOW IT SHOWS SIMILAR NEURAL PATTERNS TO ITS SOCIAL NETWORK by Aurora Russo

“…It appears that engrams can be either active or silent depending on the stage of memory consolidation. This would be in accordance with the system consolidation theory; however, incongruences in the literature still make it impossible to exclude other alternatives, like the multiple trace theory, as possible explanations. …”
