A Functional Role for Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis in Spatial Pattern Separation

TL;DR: Using adult mice in which hippocampal neurogenesis was ablated, this work found specific impairments in spatial discrimination with two behavioral assays: a spatial navigation radial arm maze task and a spatial, but non-navigable, task in the mouse touch screen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Double Dissociation between the Effects of Peri-Postrhinal Cortex and Hippocampal Lesions on Tests of Object Recognition and Spatial Memory: Heterogeneity of Function within the Temporal Lobe

TL;DR: A clear functional double dissociation was observed: rats with hippocampal lesions were impaired relative to controls and those with peripostrhinal cortex lesions on the spatial memory task, whereas rats with peri-postrhinal lesions were impair relative to the hippocampal and control groups in object recognition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Can animals recall the past and plan for the future

TL;DR: Experiments on memory in food-caching birds show that western scrub-jays form integrated, flexible, trial-unique memories of what they hid, where and when, and suggest that some animals have elements of both episodic-like memory and future planning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Object recognition memory: neurobiological mechanisms of encoding, consolidation and retrieval.

TL;DR: Research from the non-human primate and rat literature examining the anatomical basis of object recognition memory in the delayed nonmatching-to-sample (DNMS) and spontaneous object recognition (SOR) tasks, respectively, overwhelmingly favor the view that perirhinal cortex (PRh) is a critical region for object recognitionMemory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Running enhances spatial pattern separation in mice

TL;DR: It is reported that voluntary running enhanced the ability of adult male C57BL/6 mice to discriminate between the locations of two adjacent identical stimuli, and the addition of newly born neurons may bolster dentate gyrus-mediated encoding of fine spatial distinctions.
