Journal ArticleDOI

Memory formation: the sequence of biochemical events in the hippocampus and its connection to activity in other brain structures.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the hippocampal chain of events that underlies memory formation is linked to long-term storage elsewhere through activity-dependent changes in cell connectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

BDNF is essential to promote persistence of long-term memory storage.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that intrahippocampal delivery of BDNF reverses the deficit in memory persistence caused by inhibition of hippocampal protein synthesis, and induces memory persistence by itself, transforming a nonlasting LTM trace into a persistent one in an ERK-dependent manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Persistence of Long-Term Memory Storage Requires a Late Protein Synthesis- and BDNF- Dependent Phase in the Hippocampus

TL;DR: It is shown that 12 hr after acquisition of a one-trial associative learning task, there is a novel protein synthesis and BDNF-dependent phase in the rat hippocampus that is critical for the persistence of LTM storage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Involvement of hippocampal cAMP/cAMP-dependent protein kinase signaling pathways in a late memory consolidation phase of aversively motivated learning in rats

TL;DR: It is reported that a late memory consolidation phase of an inhibitory avoidance learning is regulated by an hippocampal cAMP signaling pathway that is activated, at least in part, by D1/D5 receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Different molecular cascades in different sites of the brain control memory consolidation

TL;DR: Memory consolidation involves a complex network of brain systems and serial and parallel molecular events, even for a task as deceptively simple as one-trial avoidance, and is proposed that these molecular events might also be involved in many other memory types in animals and humans.
