Stressful experiences, both physical and psychological, that are overwhelming (ie,
inescapable and unpredictable), can measurably affect subsequent neuronal properties and …

It is well known that stressful experiences may affect learning and memory processes. Less
clear is the exact nature of these stress effects on memory: both enhancing and impairing …

Memory, the ability to retain learned information, is necessary for survival. Thus far,
molecular and cellular investigations of memory formation and storage have mainly focused …

Although it has been known for decades that stress influences memory performance, it was
only recently shown that stress may alter the contribution of multiple, anatomically and …

Learning and memory in humans rely upon several memory systems, which appear to have
dissociable brain substrates,. A fundamental question concerns whether, and how, these …

Alteration of gene expression is a crucial component of adaptive responses to hypoxia.
These responses are mediated by hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIFs),. Here we …

While several models of memory consolidation have previously associated hippocampal
activity with declarative memory, there is now increasing evidence that the hippocampus …

Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) comprise a heterogeneous group of pathological
conditions, mainly of genetic origin, characterized by stereotyped behavior, marked …

Stress shapes memory. Depending on the timing of the stress exposure facilitating and
impairing effects of stress are reported on how much is learned and remembered. Beyond …

The hippocampus is an essential neural structure in developing contextual memory in a
situation in which rapid development of associative learning should occur. We tested a …
