Sleep bolsters schematically incongruent memories. by Jennifer E Ashton, Bernhard P Staresina, Scott A Cairney

“…Our ability to recall memories is improved when sleep follows learning, suggesting that sleep facilitates memory consolidation. A number of factors are thought to influence the impact of sleep on newly learned information, such as whether or not we rehearse that information (e.g. via restudy or retrieval practice), or the extent to which the information is consistent with our pre-existing schematic knowledge. …”

A Review of Equine Sleep: Implications for Equine Welfare by Linda Greening, Sebastian McBride

“…Sleep is a significant biological requirement for all living mammals due to its restorative properties and its cognitive role in memory consolidation. Sleep is ubiquitous amongst all mammals but sleep profiles differ between species dependent upon a range of biological and environmental factors. …”

Effects of intrahippocampal administration of the phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid: Dual effects on memory formation by Monica R.M. Vianna, Adriana Coitinho, Luciana Izquierdo, Ivan Izquierdo

“…Objectives: Here we evaluate the contribution of the serine-threonine protein phosphatases 1 and 2A (PP1, PP2A) on memory consolidation. Methods: We used immediate post-training bilateral hippocampal infusions of okadaic acid (OA, 0.01 and 10 pmol/side), a potent inhibitor of PP1 and PP2A, and measured short- [3 h] and long-term memory [24 h] (STM, LTM) of step-down inhibitory avoidance. …”

Hippocampal CA1 Ripples as Inhibitory Transients. by Paola Malerba, Giri P Krishnan, Jean-Marc Fellous, Maxim Bazhenov

“…Neurons active during behavior reactivate in both structures during sleep, in conjunction with characteristic brain oscillations that may form the neural substrate of memory consolidation. In the hippocampus, replay occurs within sharp wave-ripples: short bouts of high-frequency activity in area CA1 caused by excitatory activation from area CA3. …”

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. …”

Physiological and Pathological Remodeling of Cerebral Microvessels by Pavel P. Tregub, Anton S. Averchuk, Tatyana I. Baranich, Maria V. Ryazanova, Alla B. Salmina

“…There is growing evidence that the remodeling of cerebral microvessels plays an important role in plastic changes in the brain associated with development, experience, learning, and memory consolidation. At the same time, abnormal neoangiogenesis, and deregulated regulation of microvascular regression, or pruning, could contribute to the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental diseases, stroke, and neurodegeneration. …”

Melamine disrupts spatial reversal learning and learning strategy via inhibiting hippocampal BDNF-mediated neural activity. by Wei Sun, Yuanhua Wu, Dongxin Tang, Xiaoliang Li, Lei An

“…We recently demonstrated that intra-hippocampal melamine injection affected the induction of long-term depression, which is associated with novelty acquisition and memory consolidation. Here, we infused melamine into the HPC of rats, and employed behavioral tests, immunoblotting, immunocytochemistry and electrophysiological methods to sought evidence for its effects on cognitive flexibility. …”

Temporal dynamics of trauma memory persistence by Bonsall, MB, Holmes, EA

“…We show how the marginal gains of treatments for intrusive memories can be enhanced as key properties (intervention strength and reminder strength) of the intervention and memory consolidation (probability memories are labile) vary. …”

Does sleep-dependent consolidation favour weak memories? by Petzka, M, Charest, I, Balanos, GM, Staresina, BS

“…Sleep stabilizes newly acquired memories, a process referred to as memory consolidation. According to recent studies, sleep-dependent consolidation processes might be deployed to different extents for different types of memories. …”

Sleep restoration by optogenetic targeting of GABAergic neurons reprograms microglia and ameliorates pathological phenotypes in an Alzheimer’s disease model by Qiuchen Zhao, Megi Maci, Morgan R. Miller, Heng Zhou, Fang Zhang, Moustafa Algamal, Yee Fun Lee, Steven S. Hou, Stephen J. Perle, Hoang Le, Alyssa N. Russ, Eng H. Lo, Dmitry Gerashchenko, Stephen N. Gomperts, Brian J. Bacskai, Ksenia V. Kastanenka

“…Slow-wave activity (SWA) is a major restorative feature of NREM sleep and is important for memory consolidation. Methods We generated a mouse model where GABAergic interneurons could be targeted in the presence of APPswe/PS1dE9 (APP) amyloidosis, APP-GAD-Cre mice. …”
