Individual differences in memory enhancement by encoding enactment: relationships to adult age and biological factors.

Numerous studies have demonstrated an age-related decline in episodic memory performance. However, both younger and older adults benefit from various kinds of encoding support, suggesting that memory functioning remains plastic in older age. The present ...

Imaging brain plasticity during motor skill learning.

The search for the neural substrates mediating the incremental acquisition of skilled motor behaviors has been the focus of a large body of animal and human studies in the past decade. Much less is known, however, with regard to the dynamic neural ...

The mid-ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and active mnemonic retrieval.

The role of the mid-ventrolateral prefrontal cortex in memory retrieval is examined and compared with the role of the mid-dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in the monitoring of information in memory. It has been argued that the mid-ventrolateral prefrontal ...

Effects of stress hormones on traumatic memory formation and the development of posttraumatic stress disorder in critically ill patients.

A majority of patients after intensive care treatment report traumatic memories from their stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). Traumatic memories can be associated with the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a subpopulation of ...

Amygdala modulation of memory consolidation: interaction with other brain systems.

There is a strong consensus that the amygdala is involved in mediating influences of emotional arousal and stress on learning and memory. There is extensive evidence that the basolateral amygdala (BLA) is a critical locus of integration of ...

A theory of cognitive control, aging cognition, and neuromodulation.

A theory is described which links cognitive changes observed in normal aging to an underlying decline in the function of the dopamine (DA) system projection to prefrontal cortex (PFC). The theory postulates that this neural mechanism is integral to the ...

Memories and traces. From Jewish exilists authoritarian personality research via Cloningers psychobiology of personality traits to a neurobiological approach to conflict management.

Research on personality as a useful construct to understand peoples behavior in conflict situations was traced over more than fifty years, and an attempt was made to add neurobiological parameters to psycho-socio-cultural approaches. As a starting point, ...

Frequency characteristics of evoked and oscillatory electroencephalic activity in a human memory scanning task.

Research on memory scanning tasks indicates that oscillatory activity increases with load during retention, whereas evoked power (EP, comprising the P3) decreases during retrieval. We investigate the question, whether both phenomena are primarily related ...

A preliminary functional magnetic resonance imaging study in offspring of schizophrenic parents.

Studies of high-risk offspring (HR) of schizophrenic patients have found abnormalities in attention, working memory and executive functions, suggesting impaired integrity of the prefrontal cortex and related brain regions. The authors conducted a ...

Memory dynamics: distance between the new task and existing behavioural patterns affects learning and interference in bimanual coordination in humans.

In order to study memory and learning dynamics, we examined the effects of the distance between a bimanual pattern to be learned, a relative phase of either 90 degrees, 135 degrees, or 158 degrees, and pre-existing patterns at 0 degrees and 180 degrees. ...
