Journal ArticleDOI
Learning enhances adult neurogenesis in the hippocampal formation.
TL;DR: It is reported that the number of adult-generated neurons doubles in the rat dentate gyrus in response to training on associative learning tasks that require the hippocampus, which indicates that adult- generated hippocampal neurons are specifically affected by, and potentially involved in, associative memory formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurogenesis in the adult is involved in the formation of trace memories
TL;DR: It is shown that a substantial reduction in the number of newly generated neurons in the adult rat impairs hippocampal-dependent trace conditioning, a task in which an animal must associate stimuli that are separated in time.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of the hippocampus in trace conditioning: Temporal discontinuity or task difficulty?
Anna V. Beylin,Chetan C. Gandhi,Gwendolyn E. Wood,Andrew C. Talk,Louis D. Matzel,Tracey J. Shors +5 more
TL;DR: The role of the hippocampus in classical conditioning is not limited to learning about discontiguous events in time and space; rather the structure can become engaged simply as a function of task difficulty.
Journal ArticleDOI
The contribution of adrenal and reproductive hormones to the opposing effects of stress on trace conditioning in males versus females.
TL;DR: Stress-induced impairment of conditioning in females was evident immediately, 24 hr and 48 hr after stress, depending on the stage of estrus, and could be reactivated days later by reexposure to the stressful context.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glucocorticoids are necessary for enhancing the acquisition of associative memories after acute stressful experience
Anna V. Beylin,Tracey J. Shors +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that endogenous glucocorticoids are necessary and sufficient for transiently enhancing acquisition of new associative memories and necessary but insufficient for persistently enhancing their acquisition after exposure to an acute stressful experience.
