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 …

Beyond their rapid rewarding effects, drugs of abuse can durably alter an individual's
response to their environment as illustrated by the compulsive drug seeking and risk of …

Memory consolidation is thought to occur through protein synthesis-dependent synaptic
plasticity mechanisms such as long-term potentiation (LTP). Dynamic changes in gene …

Identification of neurons undergoing plasticity in response to external stimuli is one of the
pertinent problems in neuroscience. Immediate early genes (IEGs) are widely used as a …

Immediate-early gene (IEG) expression has been used to identify small neural ensembles
linked to a particular experience, based on the principle that a selective subset of activated …

Key points The mature functioning of the primary visual cortex depends on postnatal visual
experience, while the orientation/direction preference is established just after eye‐opening …

Tissue optical clearing technique provides a prospective solution for the application of
advanced optical methods in life sciences. This chapter firstly gives a brief introduction to …

The ability of neurons to process and store salient environmental features underlies
