have made substantial contributions to our understanding of the nature and neurobiological …

Long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) remain widely accepted
vertebrate models for the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie synaptic changes …

Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are extracellular matrix structures surrounding cortical neuronal
cell bodies and proximal dendrites and are involved in the control of brain plasticity and the …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disease. Post-mortem

Many current theoretical views within the literature on recognition memory—a representative
sample of which is provided by the present special issue—advocate the dissociation of …

Object-in-place associative recognition memory depends on an interaction between the
hippocampus (HPC), perirhinal (PRH), and medial prefrontal (mPFC) cortices, yet the …

One of the main focal points of aging research is the search for treatments that will prevent or
ameliorate the learning and memory deficiencies associated with aging. Here we have …

Reactivation can destabilize previously consolidated memories, rendering them vulnerable
to disruption and necessitating a process of reconsolidation in order for them to be …

Several lines of evidence suggest that extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2)
