The endocannabinoid system as a possible target to treat both the cognitive and emotional features of post-traumatic stress disorder by Viviana eTrezza, Patrizia eCampolongo

“…Endocannabinoids regulate affective states and participate in memory consolidation, retrieval and extinction. Clinical findings showing a relationship between Cannabis use and PTSD, as well as changes in endocannabinoid activity in PTSD patients, further suggest the existence of a link between endocannabinoids and maladaptive brain changes after trauma exposure. …”

The limbic-reticular coupling theory of memory processing in the brain and its greater compatibility over other theories by Zi-Jian Cai

“…Abstract The limbic-reticular coupling theory suggests that the hippocampus and amygdala regulate such descending limbic structures as the mammillary bodies, septum, hypothalamus and epithalamus to regulate the ascending noradrenergic, serotonergic, dopaminergic and cholinergic systems, performing declarative memory consolidation and recall. Recent studies have revealed that, less sensitive to familiarity, the hippocampus functions via the fornix, mammillary bodies and hypothalamus for memory recall. …”

The ubiquitin ligase Praja1 reduces NRAGE expression and inhibits neuronal differentiation of PC12 cells. by Jan Teuber, Bettina Mueller, Ryoji Fukabori, Daniel Lang, Anne Albrecht, Oliver Stork

“…We have previously identified the ubiquitin ligase Praja1 as a gene product induced during fear memory consolidation. However, the neuronal function of this enzyme still needs to be clarified. …”

Integrating Spatial Working Memory and Remote Memory: Interactions between the Medial Prefrontal Cortex and Hippocampus by Ryan A. Wirt, James M. Hyman

“…Research into spatial working memory has shown that successful execution of many types of behaviors requires synchronous activity in the theta range between the mPFC and HC, whereas studies of memory consolidation have shown that shifts in area dependency may be temporally modulated. …”

Randomly fluctuating neural connections may implement a consolidation mechanism that explains classic memory laws by Jaap M. J. Murre

“…Here, we show that such random fluctuations may in fact implement a type of memory consolidation mechanism with a stable very long-term memory that offers novel explanations for several classic memory ‘laws’, namely Jost’s Law (1897: superiority of spaced learning) and Ribot’s Law (1881: loss of recent memories in retrograde amnesia), for which a common neural basis has been postulated but not established, as well as other general ‘laws’ of learning and forgetting. …”

Slow wave sleep and accelerated forgetting by Atherton, K, Nobre, A, Lazar, A, Wulff, K, Whittaker, R, Dhawan, V, Lazar, Z, Zeman, A, Butler, C

“…We investigated whether the benefit of slow wave sleep (SWS) for memory consolidation typically observed in healthy individuals is disrupted in people with accelerated long-term forgetting (ALF) due to epilepsy. …”

The memory function of noradrenergic activity in non-REM sleep by Gais, S, Rasch, B, Dahmen, J, Sara, S, Born, J

“…We conclude that noradrenergic activity during non-REM sleep interacts with other sleep-related mechanisms to functionally contribute to off-line memory consolidation.…”

Do the right thing: neural network mechanisms of memory formation, expression and update in Drosophila by Cognigni, P, Felsenberg, J, Waddell, S

A Novel Approach to Estimating the Cortical Sources of Sleep Spindles Using Simultaneous EEG/MEG by Dimitrios Mylonas, Dimitrios Mylonas, Martin Sjøgård, Martin Sjøgård, Zhaoyue Shi, Zhaoyue Shi, Zhaoyue Shi, Bryan Baxter, Bryan Baxter, Matti Hämäläinen, Matti Hämäläinen, Dara S. Manoach, Dara S. Manoach, Sheraz Khan, Sheraz Khan

“…Sleep spindles, defining oscillations of stage II non-rapid eye movement sleep (N2), mediate sleep-dependent memory consolidation. Spindles are disrupted in several neurodevelopmental, neuropsychiatric, and neurodegenerative disorders characterized by cognitive impairment. …”

Neuropeptide Y receptor 1 and galanin receptor 2 (NPY1R-GALR2) interactions in the dentate gyrus and their relevance for neurogenesis and cognition by Rasiel Beltran-Casanueva, Rasiel Beltran-Casanueva, Aracelis Hernández-García, Aracelis Hernández-García, Aracelis Hernández-García, Paula de Amo García, Encarnación Blanco-Reina, Pedro Serrano-Castro, Pedro Serrano-Castro, Pedro Serrano-Castro, Natalia García-Casares, Kjell Fuxe, Dasiel O. Borroto-Escuela, Dasiel O. Borroto-Escuela, Manuel Narváez, Manuel Narváez

“…Existing literature highlights the potential of these interactions in enhancing learning and memory, yet detailed mechanisms remain underexplored.MethodsUtilizing intracerebroventricular injections of GALR2 and NPY1R agonists in Sprague-Dawley male rats, we examined neurogenesis via markers PCNA and DCX, and memory consolidation through the object-in-place task over a three-week period.ResultsSignificant increases in NPY1R-GALR2 co-localization and neuroblast proliferation were observed, alongside enhanced memory consolidation. …”
