Emotional enhancement of memory by noradrenergic mechanisms is well-described, but the
long-term consequences of such enhancement are poorly understood. Over time, memory …

A well-accepted model of episodic memory involves the processing of spatial and non-spatial
information by segregated pathways and their association within the hippocampus. …

The present study was aimed at developing a new inhibitory avoidance task, based on
training and/or testing rats in multiple contexts, to investigate accuracy of memory. In the first …

For the past decades, an increasing number of studies has taken advantage of molecular
imaging methods involving the detection of immediate-early genes’ (IEGs) expression for …

A highly debated issue in memory research is whether familiarity is supported by the
parahippocampal region, especially the lateral (LEC) and the perirhinal (PER) cortices, or whether …

Recent evidence suggests that altered expression and epigenetic modification of the glucocorticoid
receptor gene (NR3C1) are related to the risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD…

Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonism may be of considerable therapeutic value in stress-related
psychopathology such as depression. However, blockade of all GR-dependent …

Stereotaxic surgery for the implantation of cannulae into specific brain regions has for many
decades been a very successful experimental technique to investigate the effects of locally …

Adrenal glucocorticoid hormones are potent modulators of brain function in the context of
acute and chronic stress. Both mineralocorticoid (MRs) and glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) can …

For the past decades, CA3 was considered as a single functional entity. However, strong
differences between the proximal (close to the dentate gyrus) and the distal (close to CA2) parts …
