The influence of the BDNF Val66Met genotype on emotional recognition memory in post-traumatic stress disorder by Emma Louise Nicholson, Michael I. Garry, Luke J. Ney, Chia-Ming K. Hsu, Daniel V. Zuj, Kim L. Felmingham

“…Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) influences synaptic plasticity and emotional memory consolidation. The BDNF Val66Met polymorphism has been associated with PTSD risk and memory deficits respectively, although findings have been inconsistent, potentially due to a failure to control for important confounds such as sex, ethnicity, and the timing/extent of previous trauma experiences. …”

Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome by Yu. P. Sivolap, I. V. Damulin

“…When left untreated, Wernicke’s encephalopathy is characterized by a high risk for a fatal outcomeand transition from acute reversible disorders to chronic irreversible cerebral structural changes associated with the occurrence of memory consolidation. The main manifestation of Korsakoff’s syndrome is the absence of or significant reduction in the ability to store new information with the relative preservation of other psychic functions. …”

Aggravation of chronic stress effects on hippocampal neurogenesis and spatial memory in LPA₁ receptor knockout mice. by Estela Castilla-Ortega, Carolina Hoyo-Becerra, Carmen Pedraza, Jerold Chun, Fernando Rodríguez De Fonseca, Guillermo Estivill-Torrús, Luis J Santín

“…Moreover, a dramatic deficit in spatial reference memory consolidation was observed in chronically stressed NULL mice, which was in contrast to the minor effect observed in stressed WT mice.These results reveal that the absence of the LPA₁ receptor aggravates the chronic stress-induced impairment to hippocampal neurogenesis and its dependent functions. …”

The effects of prolonged single night session of videogaming on sleep and declarative memory. by Miria Hartmann, Michael Alexander Pelzl, Peter Herbert Kann, Ulrich Koehler, Manfred Betz, Olaf Hildebrandt, Werner Cassel

“…Sleep is considered to be important for memory consolidation, so there is also a potential risk for memory impairment due to video gaming. …”

The influence of different kinds of rest and sound-shape congruence on memory for newly learned words by Syafiqah Samsudin

“…Participants were then assigned to either the Restful Waiting (where they rested in a darkened room) or Wakeful Waiting (where they rested in a well-lit room) condition, before engaging in a memory recall task. Based on memory consolidation research, we hypothesised that participants who rested in the darkened room would perform better in the memory recall task than participants who rested in the well-lit room. …”

Shaping overnight consolidation via slow-oscillation closed-loop targeted memory reactivation by Ngo, H-VV, Staresina, BP

“…Memory performance on an immediate test vs. a test the next morning quantified overnight memory consolidation. Importantly, two image sounds were designated as TMR cues, with one cue delivered at SO UP states and the other delivered at SO DOWN states. …”

Waveform-based classification of dentate spikes by Santiago, RMM, Lopes Dos Santos, V, Aery Jones, EA, Huang, Y, Dupret, D, Tort, ABL

“…As sharp-wave ripples in CA1, DSs are more likely to occur in quiet behavioral states, when memory consolidation is thought to take place. However, their functions in mnemonic processes are yet to be elucidated. …”

Prenatal stress down-regulates Reelin expression by methylation of its promoter and induces adult behavioral impairments in rats. by Ismael Palacios-García, Ariel Lara-Vásquez, Juan F Montiel, Gabriela F Díaz-Véliz, Hugo Sepúlveda, Elías Utreras, Martín Montecino, Christian González-Billault, Francisco Aboitiz

“…PNS adult rats display excessive spontaneous locomotor activity, high anxiety levels and problems of learning and memory consolidation. No significant visuo-spatial memory impairment was detected on the Morris water maze. …”

Histone deacetylases control neurogenesis in embryonic brain by inhibition of BMP2/4 signaling. by Maya Shakèd, Kathrin Weissmüller, Hanno Svoboda, Peter Hortschansky, Norikazu Nishino, Stefan Wölfl, Kerry L Tucker

“…Histone deacetylases (HDACs) lead to the compaction of chromatin and subsequent silencing of gene transcription, and they have recently been implicated in a diversity of functions and dysfunctions in the postnatal and adult brain including ocular dominance plasticity, memory consolidation, drug addiction, and depression. Here we investigate the role of HDACs in the generation of neurons and astrocytes in the embryonic brain. …”

G Protein-Coupled Estrogen Receptor: Rapid Effects on Hippocampal-Dependent Spatial Memory and Synaptic Plasticity by Ashok Kumar, Thomas C. Foster

“…Estrogens binding to classic nuclear ERs, alpha (ERα) and beta (ERβ), and have pleotropic effects on development, behavior, and neurophysiological functions, including synaptic plasticity and memory consolidation (4–7). In addition to ERα and ERβ, estrogen can also initiate activation of classical second messenger signaling cascades to influence the activity of G-proteins and a host of kinases, resulting in rapid changes in physiology (8–14). …”
