Consolidation of long‐term memory is a highly and precisely regulated multistep process.
The transcription regulator cAMP response element‐binding protein (CREB) plays a key role …

Social insects show complex behaviors and master cognitive tasks. The underlying neuronal
mechanisms, however, are in most cases only poorly understood due to challenges in …

Transcriptional responses to the appropriate temporal pattern of action potential firing are
essential for long-term adaption of neuronal properties to the functional activity of neural …

The mechanisms of de novo gene expression and translation of specific gene transcripts
have long been known to support long-lasting changes in synaptic plasticity and behavioral …

Synapses are diverse in form and function. While there are strong evidential and theoretical
reasons for believing that memories are stored at synapses, the concept of a specialized …

A major extrinsic factor influencing memory and neuro-cognitive performances across taxa is
diet. Studies from vertebrates have shown the effects of a flavonoid rich diet on cognitive …

An ongoing reform in statistical practice is to report and interpret effect sizes. This paper
provides a short tutorial on effect sizes and some tips on how to help your students think in …

Natural light is regarded as a key regulator of biological systems and typically serves as a
Zeitgeber for biological rhythms. As a natural abiotic factor, it is recognized to regulate …

Long-term sensitization in Aplysia is accompanied by a persistent up-regulation of mRNA
encoding the peptide neurotransmitter Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-amide (FMRFa), a neuromodulator …

The induction of a long-term memory requires both transcriptional change and neural
plasticity. Many of the links between transcription and memory have been revealed through …
