Journal ArticleDOI
Acute stress, but not corticosterone, facilitates acquisition of paired associates learning in rats using touchscreen-equipped operant conditioning chambers.
TL;DR: It is suggested that while acute stress enhances the acquisition of PAL, CORT alone does not, and this dissociation may be due to differences between these treatments and their ability to produce sufficient catecholamine release in the amygdala, a requirement for stress effects on memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Roles of the medial prefrontal cortex, mediodorsal thalamus, and their combined circuit for performance of the odor span task in rats: analysis of memory capacity and foraging behavior
Gavin A. Scott,Max C. Liu,Nimra B. Tahir,Nadine K. Zabder,Yuanyi Song,Quentin Greba,John G. Howland +6 more
TL;DR: The results confirm that the mdThal is necessary for performance of the OST and that it may critically interact with the mPFC to mediate OST performance, and provide evidence that themPFC andmdThal play dissociable roles in mediating foraging behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of the T-type calcium channel antagonist Z944 on paired associates learning and locomotor activity in rats treated with the NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801
Andrew J. Roebuck,Wendie N. Marks,Max C. Liu,Nimra B. Tahir,Nadine K. Zabder,Terrance P. Snutch,John G. Howland +6 more
TL;DR: Support is provided that Z944 may reduce behaviors relevant to positive symptoms of schizophrenia, although additional study of its effects on cognition is required, and research suggest T-type calcium channel antagonists may be an alternative to currently available antipsychotics with less serious side effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Task phase-specific involvement of the rat posterior parietal cortex in performance of the TUNL task.
TL;DR: The results provide evidence that the rat PPC is required for maintaining memory representations of stimuli over a delay period as well as for making successful comparisons and choices between test stimuli, suggesting that the PPC appears not to be critical for initial encoding of sample stimuli.
