Fear extinction learning and anandamide: an fMRI study in healthy humans by Jennifer Spohrs, Martin Ulrich, Georg Grön, Michael Prost, Paul Lukas Plener, Jörg Michael Fegert, Laura Bindila, Birgit Abler

“…Rodent models suggest an anxiolytic effect of endocannabinoids and demonstrated that the ECS is involved in the modulation of fear learning and aversive memory consolidation. So far, one prominent target was inhibition of fatty acid amino hydrolase (FAAH), the degrading enzyme of the endocannabinoid anandamide (AEA). …”

Experience alters hippocampal and cortical network communication via a KIBRA-dependent mechanism by Lilyana D. Quigley, Robert Pendry, Matthew L. Mendoza, Brad.E. Pfeiffer, Lenora J. Volk

“…Summary: Synaptic plasticity is hypothesized to underlie “replay” of salient experience during hippocampal sharp-wave/ripple (SWR)-based ensemble activity and to facilitate systems-level memory consolidation coordinated by SWRs and cortical sleep spindles. …”

Mosaic expression of Atrx in the mouse central nervous system causes memory deficits by Renee J. Tamming, Jennifer R. Siu, Yan Jiang, Marco A. M. Prado, Frank Beier, Nathalie G. Bérubé

“…The rapid modulation of chromatin organization is thought to play a crucial role in cognitive processes such as memory consolidation. This is supported in part by the dysregulation of many chromatin-remodelling proteins in neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. …”

Cannabidiol Prevents Spontaneous Fear Recovery after Extinction and Ameliorates Stress-Induced Extinction Resistance by Eleni P. Papagianni, William G. Warren, Helen J. Cassaday, Carl W. Stevenson

“…We found that cannabidiol rescued the IED, which did not involve effects on fear memory consolidation. In summary, cannabidiol prevented spontaneous fear recovery after delayed extinction and ameliorated extinction resistance caused by immediate extinction. …”

Metabolic Disturbances Induced by Sleep Restriction as Potential Triggers for Alzheimer’s Disease by Jesús Enrique García-Aviles, Jesús Enrique García-Aviles, Rebeca Méndez-Hernández, Mara A. Guzmán-Ruiz, Miguel Cruz, Natalí N. Guerrero-Vargas, Javier Velázquez-Moctezuma, Gabriela Hurtado-Alvarado

“…Sleep has a major role in learning, memory consolidation, and metabolic function. Although it is known that sleep restriction increases the accumulation of amyloid β peptide (Aβ) and the risk to develop Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the mechanism behind these effects remains unknown. …”

Bilateral hippocampal infarction and amnesia: A case report by Kostić Smiljana, Pasovski Viktor, Krsmanović Željko, Bošković Željko, Kostić Dejan, Jovanovski Aleksandar, Jović-Stošić Jasmina

“…The hippocampus along with other structures of the medial temporal lobe plays an important role in the process of learning and memory consolidation. Bilateral hippocampal lesions lead to persistent anterograde amnesia while unilateral damage results in milder, content-specific forms of amnesia. …”

Odor fear conditioning modifies piriform cortex local field potentials both during conditioning and during post-conditioning sleep. by Dylan C Barnes, Julie Chapuis, Dipesh Chaudhury, Donald A Wilson

“…Sleep plays an active role in memory consolidation. Sleep structure (REM/Slow wave activity [SWS]) can be modified after learning, and in some cortical circuits, sleep is associated with replay of the learned experience. …”

Dopamine-induced Tyrosine Phosphorylation of NR2B (Tyr1472) is Essential for ERK1/2 Activation and Processing of Novel Taste Information by Orit eDavid, Iliana eBarrera, Chinnakkaruppan eAdaikkan, Hanoch eKaphzan, Takanobu eNakazawa, Tadashi eYamamoto, Kobi eRosenblum, Kobi eRosenblum

Here, we tested the hypothesis that tyrosine phosphorylation of NR2B at Y1472 is correlated with ERK1/2 activation by dopamine and necessary for it as well. …”
