Mental rotation: effects of gender, training and sleep consolidation. by Ursula Debarnot, Pascale Piolino, Jean-Claude Baron, Aymeric Guillot

“…A wide range of experimental studies have provided evidence that a night of sleep contributes to memory consolidation. Mental rotation (MR) skill is characterized by fundamental aspect of both cognitive and motor abilities which can be improved within practice sessions, but little is known about the effect of consolidation after MR practice. …”

Sleep-promoting neurons remodel their response properties to calibrate sleep drive with environmental demands by Stephane Dissel, Markus K. Klose, Bruno van Swinderen, Lijuan Cao, Melanie Ford, Erica M. Periandri, Joseph D. Jones, Zhaoyi Li, Paul J. Shaw

“…To understand how animals match sleep need with environmental demands, we used live-brain imaging to examine the physiological response properties of the dorsal fan-shaped body (dFB) following interventions that modify sleep (sleep deprivation, starvation, time-restricted feeding, memory consolidation) in Drosophila. We report that dFB neurons change their physiological response-properties to dopamine (DA) and allatostatin-A (AstA) in response to different types of waking. …”

An update on recent advances in targeted memory reactivation during sleep by Julia Carbone, Susanne Diekelmann

“…Abstract Targeted Memory Reactivation (TMR) is a noninvasive tool to manipulate memory consolidation during sleep. TMR builds on the brain’s natural processes of memory reactivation during sleep and aims to facilitate or bias these processes in a certain direction. …”

How emotion strengthens the recollective experience: a time-dependent hippocampal process. by Tali Sharot, Mieke Verfaellie, Andrew P Yonelinas

“…Here, we examine if this modulation is related to the effect of emotion on hippocampal-dependent memory consolidation. Two critical predictions follow from this hypothesis. …”

Ghrelin: A link between ageing, metabolism and neurodegenerative disorders by I.I. Stoyanova

“…Ghrelin takes part in lipid and glucose metabolism, in higher brain functions such as sleep–wake state, learning and memory consolidation; it influences mitochondrial respiration and shows neuroprotective effect. …”

Is There a Canonical Cortical Circuit for the Cholinergic System? Anatomical Differences Across Common Model Systems by Jennifer J. Coppola, Anita A. Disney

“…Acetylcholine (ACh) is believed to act as a neuromodulator in cortical circuits that support cognition, specifically in processes including learning, memory consolidation, vigilance, arousal and attention. The cholinergic modulation of cortical processes is studied in many model systems including rodents, cats and primates. …”

In Search for the Retrievable Memory Trace in an Insect Brain by Randolf Menzel

“…The concept of a memory trace existing beyond retrieval is defended by referring to two well-documented processes also in the honeybee, memory consolidation during sleep, and transfer of memory across brain areas.…”

Protocol for assessing the role of hippocampal perineuronal nets in aversive memories by Vladimir Jovasevic, Hui Zhang, Zorica Petrovic, Ana Cicvaric, Jelena Radulovic

“…However, their exact contribution depends on type of memory, consolidation stage, or brain region, and remains to be fully investigated. …”

Arc Regulates Transcription of Genes for Plasticity, Excitability and Alzheimer’s Disease by How-Wing Leung, Gabriel Foo, Antonius VanDongen

“…The immediate early gene Arc is a master regulator of synaptic function and a critical determinant of memory consolidation. Here, we show that Arc interacts with dynamic chromatin and closely associates with histone markers for active enhancers and transcription in cultured rat hippocampal neurons. …”

Memory capacity and prioritization in female mice by Qinbo Qiao, Caroline Mairlot, Daniel Bendor

“…While rodents are a primary model for studying memory consolidation, common behavioral tests typically rely on a limited number of items or contexts, well within the memory capacity of the subject. …”

Molecular diversity and functional dynamics in the central amygdala by Li-Feng Yeh, Shuzhen Zuo, Shuzhen Zuo, Pin-Wu Liu, Pin-Wu Liu

“…Recent advances in genetic techniques like optogenetics and chemogenetics have deepened our understanding of distinct neuronal populations within the CeA, particularly those involved in fear learning and memory consolidation. However, challenges remain due to overlapping genetic markers complicating neuron identification. …”

Frontal beta-theta network during REM sleep by Sujith Vijayan, Kyle Q Lepage, Nancy J Kopell, Sydney S Cash

“…Since the DLPFC and the ACC are implicated in memory and emotional regulation, and the ACC has motor areas and is thought to be important for error detection, the dialogue between these two areas could play a role in the regulation of emotions and in procedural motor and emotional memory consolidation.…”

ACSS2-related autophagy has a dual impact on memory by Hao Zhang, Zujian Xiong, Qin He, Fan Fan

“…Under the condition of nutrient deprivation, autophagy can lead to dysfunction in memory consolidation. AMPK/mTOR pathway is currently the most studied autophagy mechanism, while recently researchers have proved ACSS2 can also affect autophagy. …”

Parvalbumin interneuron loss mediates repeated anesthesia-induced memory deficits in mice by Patricia Soriano Roque, Carolina Thörn Perez, Mehdi Hooshmandi, Calvin Wong, Mohammad Javad Eslamizade, Shilan Heshmati, Nicole Brown, Vijendra Sharma, Kevin C.

Iordanova, Masha Prager-Khoutorsky, Heidi M. McBride, Jean-Claude Lacaille, Linda Wykes, Thomas Schricker, Arkady Khoutorsky

“…Each parvalbumin interneuron controls the activity of multiple pyramidal excitatory neurons, thereby regulating neuronal circuits and memory consolidation. Preventing the loss of parvalbumin neurons by deleting a proapoptotic protein, mitochondrial anchored protein ligase (MAPL), selectively in parvalbumin neurons rescued anesthesia-induced deficits in pyramidal cell inhibition and hippocampus-dependent long-term memory. …”

ROLE OF CHOLINERGIC SYSTEM ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF MEMORY AND ITS INTERACTION WITH DOPAMINERGIC SYSTEM by F. Z. Zangeneh, F. Motammedi A. Bakhtiarian

“…The central cholinergic system has been associated with cognitive function and memory and acetylcholine plays an important role during the early stages of memory consolidation. In this study, after training mice were tested with one way active avoidance procedure and retention were tested at 4, 8, 12, 16 and 24 hours of training and compared with non-shocked mice, in which it took 24 hours, a suitable time for retention test. …”
