The novel object recognition (NOR) task has emerged as a popular method for testing the
neurobiology of nonspatial memory in rodents. This task exploits the natural tendency of …

It is well established that estrogens affect neuroplasticity in a number of brain regions. In
particular, estrogens modulate and mediate spine and synapse formation as well as …

This unit is designed to provide sufficient instruction for the setup and execution of tests for
object location and object recognition in adult mice. This task is ideally suited for the study of …

There is a long-standing division in memory research between hippocampus-dependent
memory and non-hippocampus-dependent memory, as only the latter can be acquired and …

Rats and mice have been demonstrated to show episodic-like memory, a prototype of
episodic memory, as defined by an integrated memory of the experience of an object or …

Psychotherapy that regularly yields liberating, lasting change was, in the last century, a
futuristic vision, but it has now become reality, thanks to a convergence of remarkable …

Recognition memory is widely viewed as consisting of two components, recollection and
familiarity, which have been proposed to be dependent on the hippocampus and the …

Elucidating the role of the rodent hippocampus in object recognition memory is critical for
establishing the appropriateness of rodents as models of human memory and for their use in …

Object recognition (OR) and the Morris water maze (MWM) are classical tasks widely used to
assess memory parameters and deficits in rodents. Learning processes in both tasks involve …

Memory reconsolidation has been argued to be a distinct process that serves to maintain,
strengthen or modify memories. Specifically, the retrieval of a previously consolidated …
