Memory is central to many aspects of behaviour, but in spite of a long interest in its neural
basis, empirical evidence of the nature of the hypothetical pathway that is left in the …

Filial imprinting is a process, readily observed in precocial birds, whereby a social
attachment is established between a young animal and an object that is typically (although …

Mechanisms of growth cone pathfinding in the course of neuronal net formation as well as
mechanisms of learning and memory have been under intense investigation for the past 20 …

Plaques containing amyloid β-peptides (Aβ) are a major feature in Alzheimer's disease (AD),
and GM1 ganglioside is an important component of cellular plasma membranes and …

Imprinting is a type of learning by which an animal restricts its social preferences to an object
after exposure to that object. Filial imprinting occurs shortly after birth or hatching and sexual …

Background This study posed the question whether strain differences in stress-reactivity
lead to differential behavioral responses in two different tests of anxiety. Strain differences in …

Background There is evidence that sleep is important for memory consolidation, but the
underlying neuronal changes are not well understood. We studied the effect of sleep …

Converging evidence implicates the intermediate and medial mesopallium (IMM) of the
domestic chick forebrain in memory for a visual imprinting stimulus. During and after …

Filial imprinting has become a model for understanding memory, learning and social
behaviour in neonate animals. This mechanism allows the youngs of precocial bird species …

Visual imprinting in chicks and song learning in songbirds are prominent model systems for
the study of the neural mechanisms of memory. In both systems, neural lateralisation has …
