Rats and mice are used for studying neuronal circuits underlying recognition memory due to
their ability to spontaneously remember the occurrence of an object, its place and an …

The one-trial object recognition task involves memory of a familiar object in parallel with the
detection and encoding of a novel object. It provides the basis for the study of a wide range …

One prominent view holds that episodic memory emerged recently in humans and lacks a
“(neo) Darwinian evolution”[Tulving E (2002) Annu Rev Psychol 53: 1–25]. Here, we review …

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 …

Rats and mice are attracted by novel objects. They readily approach novel objects and
explore them with their vibrissae, nose and forepaws. It is assumed that such a single …

Object recognition (OR) and the Morris water maze (MWM) are classical tasks widely used to
assess memory parameters and deficits in rodents. Learning processes in both tasks involve …

Sleep is known to support memory consolidation. Here we review evidence for an active
system consolidation occurring during sleep. At the beginning of this process is sleep's …

There are currently a number of theories of rodent hippocampal function. They fall into two
major groups that differ in the role they impute to space in hippocampal information …

Abstract Ideas about how the brain organizes learning and memory have been evolving in
recent years, with potentially important ramifications. We review traditional thinking about …

Episodic memory, as defined by Tulving, can be described in terms of behavioural elements
(what, where and when information) but it is also accompained by an awareness of one's …
