Abstract:

Social drinkers (healthy males aged 18--34) participated in three experiments that examined some of the mechanisms that may be responsible for the effects of alcohol on emotionally charged memory. In a study on incidental learning, alcohol enhanced neutral, positive and negative memory, possibly by a nonselective consolidation mechanism. Alcohol's enhancement of memory was found to not be associated (contingently related) with its incentive reward and relief effects. In another study on intentional learning, alcohol enhanced positive memory and/or inhibited negative memory, possibly reflecting

Abstract:

The aim of these experiments was to investigate learning and memory extensively in two nonverbal domains (olfactory and visual), and to determine similarities and differences in the function of the neural substrates that subserve these modalities. Two complementary methodological approaches were taken: (1) examination of learning and retention in patients with resection from left (LR) or right (RR) temporal lobe, and (2) study of brain function via Positron Emission Tomography (PET) of healthy subjects during memory processing.<br>Two parallel recognition tests were developed (one olfactory, o

Abstract:

The protein synthesis inhibitors cycloheximide and anisomycin were administered during training in an attempt to block the consolidation of the memory for a morphine conditioned place preference. The systemic injection of 2.5mg/kg of cycloheximide post-training failed to block consolidation, though there was a trend towards an attenuated preference, however cycloheximide produced a conditioned place aversion if paired with one compartment. To examine the effect of more complete protein synthesis inhibition and reduce the aversive effects, the less toxic protein synthesis inhibitor aniso

Abstract:

Memory refers to the retention of learned information or experiences in the brain. It is known that interference of certain brain functions immediately after training or memory reactivation can cause memory loss (i.e. amnesia). The post-training process is called consolidation and the post reactivation process is called reconsolidation. However, it remains unclear as to: (1) whether appetitive, goal-directed memories undergo reconsolidation, (2) whether overtrained memories undergo reconsolidation, (3) what the nature of amnesia is (i.e. whether it represents storage or retrieval impairment),

This series of experiments used the multiple learning and memory systems hypothesis of the mammalian nervous system to investigate the possibility that the amygdala, dorsal striatum, and hippocampal systems might, in certain situations, interact to produce behavior in the normal animal.

This thesis presents research designed to explore the role of physiological and psychological factors in mediating the effects of victimisation upon eyewitness memory. A tripartite model of arousal and memory is proposed encompassing physiological, psychological and motivational mechanisms. In order to investigate the potential role of these mechanisms, three laboratory based studies and one archival study are presented. The results of the laboratory studies suggest that physiological arousal may not influence eyewitness memory. In contrast, whilst direct support for an influence of psychologi

Discrimination thresholds were obtained during a delayed spatial frequency discrimination task. In Experiment 1, we found that presentation of a mask 3 s before onset of a reference Gabor patch caused selective interference in a subsequent discrimination task. However, a 10 s interval abolished this masking effect. In Experiment 2, the mask was associated with a second spatial frequency discrimination task so that a representation of the mask had to be coded into short-term perceptual memory. The presence of this second discrimination task now caused similar interference effects on the primary

The experiments reported in the present dissertation investigated the contribution of the mammillary region to several classes of learning and memory: spatial memory, nonspatial memory, and conditioned aversion learning.

A dissociation in the effect of such lesions on performance of comparable spatial and nonspatial memory tasks was shown. In contrast to the seve

The precise role of the frontal cortex, however, in source or episodic retrieval is not clear.

There are numerous clinical and experimental accounts of retrograde and anterograde amnesia resulting from damage to the hippocampus (HPC).

Here I show the HPC plays a role in the formation and storage of a wider range of memories than is posited in contemporary theories.

It is important to understand what factors initiate the onset of AD so that effective therapeutic treatments can be developed to target the precise mechanisms that initiate this disease. Currently, synaptic dysfunction is widely believed to be the first significant alteration preceding the onset of AD, and is thought to be initiated by an intracellular accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ), or a free radical-induced increase of oxidative stress.

Abstract:

My experiment concerned the influence of chronobiological (circadian) rhythm on fatigue, effort, and cardiovascular (CV) response. It evaluated responses of morning people (Larks) presented an easy or difficult recognition memory task at a time congruent or incongruent with their rhythm. Based on an extension of a conceptual analysis of fatigue influence, my central prediction was that circadian rhythm would combine interactionally with task difficulty to determine effort and associated CV responses. Specifically, effort and associated CV responses were expected to be (1) positively correspo

Educational institutions and corporations are beginning to use video games for teaching purposes, however, not much is known about the use and effectiveness of video games for such purposes. One even less explored factor in video games is the music that is played througho

Abstract:

The nonrecurring-items delayed nonmatching-to-sample (DNMS) task is an integral part of contemporary monkey models of brain-damage-produced amnesia. This thesis began the development of a comparable rat model of brain-damage-produced amnesia. First, a DNMS task for rats was designed by adapting key features of the monkey task. Then, the rat DNMS task was studied in three experiments; each assessed the comparability of the rat DNMS task to the monkey DNMS task. Experiment 1 determined the rate at which the rat DNMS task is learned and the asymptotic level at which it is performed, Experim

Abstract:

As the aging population continues to grow worldwide, age-related complications are becoming more apparent within the aging population. One of the first age-related complications to become apparent is age-associated memory impairment and it can make the elderly more dependent on caregivers early on. The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is important to learning and memory and appears to be especially vulnerable to the process of aging. The density of NMDA receptors declines with age more than any other ionotropic glutamate receptor. Both the density of NMDA receptors and the mRNA and protein

Abstract:

The astounding capacity for learning ranks among the nervous system’s most impressive features. This thesis comprises studies employing varied approaches to improve understanding, at the level of neural circuits, of the brain’s capacity for learning. The first part of the thesis contains investigations of hippocampal circuitry – both theoretical work and experimental work in the mouse Mus musculus – as a model system for declarative memory. To begin, Chapter 2 presents a theory of hippocampal memory storage and retrieval that reflects nonlinear dendritic processing within hippocampal pyr

Abstract:

M.Tech. (Chiropractic)<br>Brain hibernation or cerebral dysfunction theory is the diminishing of brain function due to poor blood flow as a result of compression of the vertebral, basilar, internal carotid and subclavian arteries (Buchanan, 2004). Compression is usually due to skeletal malalignment, ligamentous or muscular in origin and correction of this by cervical spine manipulation suggests that the above difficulties may be improved with manipulative and manual techniques (Buchanan, 2005). Thomas and Wood (1992), suggest that there is a correlation between upper cervical adjustments and i
