Inhibition of connexin43 hemichannels impairs spatial short-term memory without affecting spatial working memory [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016
Astrocytes are active players in higher brain function as they can release gliotransmitters, which are essential for synaptic plasticity. Various mechanisms have been proposed for gliotransmission, including vesicular mechanisms as well as non-vesicular ...

Topological Schemas of Memory Spaces

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2018
Hippocampal cognitive map—a neuronal representation of the spatial environment—is widely discussed in the computational neuroscience literature for decades.

Neural mechanisms of the V2M–PrL pathway mediate blue light-induced spatial memory impairment [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications Biology
Blue light has been shown to impair spatial memory in mice. However, the underlying neural circuit mechanisms of this impairment remain elusive. Our study revealed that 600-lux blue light disrupted spatial memory retrieval in male mice through the ...

The heritability of spatial memory and caching behaviour in a food-storing bird [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Cognition
Research examining how cognitive traits evolve in the wild has focussed on finding evidence of the ‘Darwinian holy trinity’– consistent individual variation in cognitive performance that is linked to fitness and has a heritable component. In food-storing

Perception and Behavioral Intention of Cycling Space on Urban Greenway [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2021
To explore the spatial power and spatial relationship of urban greenway sports cultural memory, using literature data induction analysis method, questionnaire survey method, interview method, and other research methods, the connotation of urban greenway ...

Retrosplenial cortex in spatial memory: focus on immediate early genes mapping

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2021
The ability to form, retrieve and update autobiographical memories is one of the most fascinating features of human behavior. Spatial memory, the ability to remember the layout of the external environment and to navigate within its boundaries, is closely

A synaptic signal for novelty processing in the hippocampus

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Memory formation and recall are complementary processes within the hippocampus. Here the authors demonstrate a synaptic signal of novelty in the hippocampus and provide a computational framework for how such a novelty-driven switch may enable flexible ...

The role of sleep disturbance and inflammation for spatial memory

open access: yesBrain, Behavior, & Immunity - Health, 2021
Spatial memory is a brain function involved in multiple behaviors such as planning a route or recalling an object's location. The formation of spatial memory relies on the homeostasis of various biological systems, including healthy sleep and a well ...

Allocentric Spatial Memory Performance in a Virtual Reality-Based Task is Conditioned by Visuospatial Working Memory Capacity

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2020
Traditionally, the medial temporal lobe has been considered a key brain region for spatial memory. Nevertheless, executive functions, such as working memory, also play an important role in complex behaviors, such as spatial navigation.

Great tits who remember more accurately have difficulty forgetting, but variation is not driven by environmental harshness

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The causes of individual variation in memory are poorly understood in wild animals. Harsh environments with sparse or rapidly changing food resources are hypothesized to favour more accurate spatial memory to allow animals to return to previously visited
