Rats and mice are used for studying neuronal circuits underlying recognition memory due to
their ability to spontaneously remember the occurrence of an object, its place and an …

Abstract Information concerning the roles of different brain regions in recognition memory
processes is reviewed. The review concentrates on findings from spontaneous recognition …

An increasingly popular method of assessing cognitive functions in rodents is the automated
touchscreen platform, on which a number of different cognitive tests can be run in a manner …

When placed in a T-maze, rats or mice possess a strong tendency of alternating arm choices
on successive trials. The exploration of novel environmental stimuli is dependent on the …

The mouse is emerging as an important model for understanding how sensory neocortex
extracts cues to guide behavior, yet little is known about how these cues are processed …

The role of the hippocampus in object recognition memory processes is unclear in the
current literature. Conflicting results have been found in lesion studies of both primates and …

Brain regions involved in visual recognition memory, including the hippocampus, have been
investigated by measuring differential neuronal activation produced by novel and familiar …

Psychologists and neurobiologists have a long-standing interest in understanding how the
context surrounding the events of our lives is represented and how it influences our …

Rodent chronically injected with d-galactose (d-gal) has been used as an animal aging
model for brain aging or anti-aging pharmacology research. However, the dosage of d-gal …

In this target article we question the assumption that perception is divided into separate
domains of vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. We review implications of this …
