Immune response impairs learning in free-flying bumble-bees.

21 Oct 2008 Parasites can influence different host behaviours including foraging, mate choice and predator avoidance. Several recent papers have shown reduced learning abilities in infected insects. However, it is difficult to separate the effects of the ... Read more...

Activity in the medial temporal lobe predicts memory strength, whereas activity in the prefrontal cortex predicts recollection.

13 Oct 2008 Functional magnetic resonance imaging studies of recognition memory have often been interpreted to mean that the hippocampus supports recollection and that the adjacent perirhinal cortex supports familiarity. Other work points out that these ... Read more...

Epigenetic regulation of BDNF gene transcription in the consolidation of fear memory.

13 Oct 2008 Long-term memory formation requires selective changes in gene expression. Here, we determined the contribution of chromatin remodeling to learning-induced changes in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (bdnf) gene expression in the adult hippocampus. ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Memory'

Definition: Complex mental function having four distinct phases: (1) memorizing or learning, (2) retention, (3) recall, and (4) recognition. Clinically, it is usually subdivided into immediate, recent, and remote memory.

Alternative terms: Memory;

Allowable Qualifiers: classification; drug effects; physiology; radiation effects;
