The systemic effects of the enriched environment on the conditioned fear reaction by Grigory A. Grigoryan

“…And finally, the EE affects the motivational and reinforcing brain mechanisms, induces an impairment of search activity, and worsens memory consolidation, which leads to a reduction of CFR.…”

The effects of the combination of caffeine and a short nap on memory. by Chee, Wei Yan.

“…Results showed that the combination of napping and caffeine has an additive effect on memory and caffeine has a greater effect on memory consolidation than on encoding and retrieval.…”

Dissociating effects of stimulus identity and load on working memory attentional guidance: lengthening encoding time eliminates the effect of load but not identity. by Tsvetanov, K, Arvanitis, T, Humphreys, G

“…The results are consistent with the identity of stimuli in WM modulating attention post the memory consolidation stage.…”

Priming of hippocampal population bursts by individual perisomatic-targeting interneurons. by Ellender, T, Nissen, W, Colgin, L, Mann, E, Paulsen, O

“…Hippocampal population bursts ("sharp wave-ripples") occur during rest and slow-wave sleep and are thought to be important for memory consolidation. The cellular mechanisms involved are incompletely understood. …”

Automatic vs. Manual Detection of High Frequency Oscillations in Intracranial Recordings From the Human Temporal Lobe by Aljoscha Thomschewski, Aljoscha Thomschewski, Aljoscha Thomschewski, Nathalie Gerner, Patrick B. Langthaler, Patrick B. Langthaler, Eugen Trinka, Arne C. Bathke, Arne C. Bathke, Jürgen Fell, Yvonne Höller

“…Not only has their occurrence been linked to epileptogenesis, but also to physiologic processes, such as memory consolidation. There are at least two big challenges for HFO research. …”

The memory process : neuroscientific and humanistic perspectives / by Nalbantian, Suzanne, 1950- 521643, Matthews, Paul M. 521644, McClelland, James L. 395313

Emotion causes targeted forgetting of established memories by Bryan A. Strange, Bryan A. Strange, Marijn C Kroes, Judith Fan, Raymond J Dolan

“…Reconsolidation postulates that reactivation of a memory trace renders it susceptible to disruption by treatments similar to those that impair initial memory consolidation. Despite evidence that implicit, or non-declarative, human memories can be disrupted at retrieval, a convincing demonstration of selective impairment in retrieval of target episodic memories following reactivation is lacking. …”

Capacity-speed relationships in prefrontal cortex. by Vivek Prabhakaran, Bart Rypma, Nandakumar S Narayanan, Timothy B Meier, Benjamin P Austin, Veena A Nair, Lin Naing, Lisa E Thomas, John D E Gabrieli

“…Moreover, an overlap analysis with regions associated with binding or chunking suggest that this strategic memory consolidation process may be the mechanism interlinking WM capacity and WM speed.…”

Dopamine receptor activation reorganizes neuronal ensembles during hippocampal sharp waves in vitro. by Takeyuki Miyawaki, Hiroaki Norimoto, Tomoe Ishikawa, Yusuke Watanabe, Norio Matsuki, Yuji Ikegaya

“…Hippocampal sharp wave (SW)/ripple complexes are thought to contribute to memory consolidation. Previous studies suggest that behavioral rewards facilitate SW occurrence in vivo. …”

Aversive memory and the role of the mesocorticolimbic system in defensive responses-literature review by K. M. H. Cavalcante

“…Mesocorticolimbic dopamine system has been shown to be critical for many processes that drive learning and memory, including motivation, prediction error, incentive salience, memory consolidation, and response output; and it carries signals of valorization, both for stimuli related to gain, and for aversive stimuli. …”

Remembering components of food in Drosophila by Gaurav eDas, Suewei eLin, Scott eWaddell

“…Dopaminergic neurons are also critical for food memory consolidation and deprivation-state dependent motivational control of the expression of food-relevant memories. …”

Stochastic consolidation of lifelong memory by Nimrod Shaham, Jay Chandra, Gabriel Kreiman, Haim Sompolinsky

“…Here we present a model for continual learning in a recurrent neural network combining Hebbian learning, synaptic decay and a novel memory consolidation mechanism: memories undergo stochastic rehearsals with rates proportional to the memory’s basin of attraction, causing self-amplified consolidation. …”

The EEG as an index of neuromodulator balance in memory and mental illness by Costa eVakalopoulos

“…Sleep studies on memory consolidation present some of the strongest evidence yet for the respective roles of monoaminergic and cholinergic projections in declarative and non-declarative memory processes, a key theoretical premise for understanding the data. …”

The Relationship between Acute Glucocorticoid Levels and Hippocampal Function Depends upon Task Aversiveness and Memory Processing Stage by Cheryl D. Conrad

“…Thus, highly aversive tasks that activate the amygdala shift the memory function from an inverted U-shaped curve to a linear representation between GC levels and memory consolidation.…”

Retro-Active Emotion: Do Negative Emotional Stimuli Disrupt Consolidation in Working Memory? by Güven Kandemir, Elkan G Akyürek, Mark R Nieuwenstein

“…In two experiments, we examined whether the presentation of a negative emotionally arousing picture can disrupt working memory consolidation of a preceding visual target. In both experiments, the effects of negative emotional pictures were compared with the effects of neutral pictures. …”

Necessity of Sleep for Motor Gist Learning in Mice by Ward D. Pettibone, Korey Kam, Rebecca K. Chen, Andrew W. Varga

“…With respect to behavior, the term memory “consolidation” has canonically been used to describe increased fidelity during testing to a learned behavior shaped during training. …”

Sleep prevents catastrophic forgetting in spiking neural networks by forming a joint synaptic weight representation. by Ryan Golden, Jean Erik Delanois, Pavel Sanda, Maxim Bazhenov

“…In contrast, the brain learns continuously, and typically learns best when new training is interleaved with periods of sleep for memory consolidation. Here we used spiking network to study mechanisms behind catastrophic forgetting and the role of sleep in preventing it. …”

On the theory of mental representation block. a novel perspective on learning and behavior by Tobore Onojighofia Tobore

“…The theory proposes that as a consequence of the brain’s energy efficiency evolutionary adaptations, all learning following memory consolidation, reconsolidation, and repeated reinforcements or strengthening over time, results in a phenomenon called mental representation block. …”

Computational models of episodic-like memory in food-caching birds by Johanni Brea, Nicola S. Clayton, Wulfram Gerstner

“…The model has hunger variables for motivational control, reward-modulated update of retrieval and caching policies and an associative neural network for remembering caching events with a memory consolidation mechanism for flexible decoding of the age of a memory. …”

Neurofeedback training improves episodic and semantic long-term memory performance by Yu-Hsuan Tseng, Kaori Tamura, Tsuyoshi Okamoto
