Our memories are not all created equally strong: Some experiences are well remembered
while others are remembered poorly, if at all. Research on memory modulation investigates …

Alzheimer's disease is becoming a growing problem increasing at a tremendous rate.
Serotonin 5-HT 6 receptors appear to be a particularly attractive target from a therapeutic …

Reactivation of stabilized memories returns them to a labile state and causes them to
undergo extinction or reconsolidation processes. Although it is well established that …

In neurosurgery practice glucocorticoids are commonly used. Steroids may have central
nervous system side effects affecting whole body, including steroid-induced mental agitation …

The aim of this paper was to examine changes in rat emotional behavior, and to find the
brain structures, which are involved in the mediation of behavioral effects, related to the …

Previous studies indicated that stress levels of glucocorticoid hormones (cortisol in humans,
and corticosterone in rodents) induce impairment of long-term memory retrieval, but the …

This study was designed to examine the effect of corticosterone on consolidation of
contextual fear memory and hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) in rats. In Experiment …

Context Cortisol, a hormone regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, has
been linked to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The nature of the relationship …

Reconsolidation is the process by which previously consolidated memories are stabilized
after retrieval. Several lines of evidence indicate that glucocorticoids modulate distinct …

We previously showed that an acute stress (electric footshocks) induced both a rapid plasma
corticosterone rise and a reversal of serial memory retrieval pattern in a contextual serial …
