When is the hippocampus involved in recognition memory
TLDR
The hippocampus plays a role in recognition memory when such memory involves remembering that a particular stimulus occurred in a particular place or when the memory contains a temporal or object recency component.Abstract:
The role of the hippocampus in recognition memory is controversial. Recognition memory judgments may be made using different types of information, including object familiarity, an object's spatial location, or when an object was encountered. Experiment 1 examined the role of the hippocampus in recognition memory tasks that required the animals to use these different types of mnemonic information. Rats with bilateral cytotoxic lesions in the hippocampus or perirhinal or prefrontal cortex were tested on a battery of spontaneous object recognition tasks requiring the animals to make recognition memory judgments using familiarity (novel object preference); object-place information (object-in-place memory), or recency information (temporal order memory). Experiment 2 examined whether, when using different types of recognition memory information, the hippocampus interacts with either the perirhinal or prefrontal cortex. Thus, groups of rats were prepared with a unilateral cytotoxic lesion in the hippocampus combined with a lesion in either the contralateral perirhinal or prefrontal cortex. Rats were then tested in a series of object recognition memory tasks. Experiment 1 revealed that the hippocampus was crucial for object location, object-in-place, and recency recognition memory, but not for the novel object preference task. Experiment 2 revealed that object-in-place and recency recognition memory performance depended on a functional interaction between the hippocampus and either the perirhinal or medial prefrontal cortices. Thus, the hippocampus plays a role in recognition memory when such memory involves remembering that a particular stimulus occurred in a particular place or when the memory contains a temporal or object recency component.read more

TL;DR: It is shown that deficient synaptic pruning is associated with weak synaptic transmission, decreased functional brain connectivity, deficits in social interaction and increased repetitive-behavior phenotypes that have been previously associated with autism and other neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders.

TL;DR: This protocol reduces inter-individual variability with the use of a selection criterion based on a minimal time of exploration for both objects during each session, and describes the three most commonly used variants, containing long (3 d), short (1 d) or no habituation phases.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of intragastric treatment of adult mice with multiple antibiotics on the gut microbial community, metabolite profile in the colon, circulating metabolites, expression of neuronal signaling molecules in distinct brain areas and cognitive behavior is systematically investigated.

TL;DR: The findings implicate aberrant eIF2α phosphorylation as a previously unidentified molecular mechanism underlying Alzheimer's disease–related synaptic pathophysioloy and memory dysfunction and suggest that PERK and GCN2 are potential therapeutic targets for treatment of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease.

Hippocampo-cortical coupling mediates memory consolidation during sleep
TL;DR: These results provide the first direct evidence for a causal role of a hippocampo-cortical dialog during sleep in memory consolidation, and indicate that the underlying mechanism involves a fine-tuned coordination between sharp wave-ripples, delta waves and spindles.

TL;DR: There is no correlation between the three tests which argues for a multiple form of working memory, especially a spatial and a non-spatial one, and the level of discrimination in the spatial recognition test was significantly reduced compared to that of control.

TL;DR: Projections of the hippocampal formation to the prefrontal cortex were visualized in the rat by means of the anterograde tracer Phaseolus vulgaris‐leucoagglutinin and the intermediate portion of the subiculum projects more densely and diffusely than its dorsal and ventral portions.
