Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by hallmark impairments in social
functioning. Nevertheless, nonsocial cognition, including hippocampus-dependent spatial …

Abstract Information concerning the roles of different brain regions in recognition memory
processes is reviewed. The review concentrates on findings from spontaneous recognition …

Rats and mice have been demonstrated to show episodic-like memory, a prototype of
episodic memory, as defined by an integrated memory of the experience of an object or …

This paper reviews evidence demonstrating a bidirectional relationship between memory
and eating in humans and rodents. In humans, amnesia is associated with impaired …

Approach-avoidance conflict arises when an animal encounters a stimulus that is associated
simultaneously with positive and negative valences [1]. The effective resolution of approach …

Episodic memories differ from other types of memory because they represent aspects of the
past not present in other memories, such as the time, place, or social context in which the …

Dysregulation of hippocampal neurogenesis is linked to several neurodegenereative
diseases, where boosting hippocampal neurogenesis in these patients emerges as a …

Memory consolidation is promoted by sleep. However, there is also evidence for
consolidation into long-term memory during wakefulness via processes that preferentially …

Spontaneous recognition memory tasks build on an animal's natural preference for novelty
to assess the what, where and when components of episodic memory. Their simplicity …

Studies have suggested that cognitive deficits can precede motor alterations in Parkinson's
disease (PD). However, in general, classic animal models are based on severe motor …
