Rationale Animal studies suggest that the so-called “female” hormone estrogen enhances
spatial navigation and memory. This contradicts the observation that males generally out …

Introduction There is ample evidence that overnight sleep and daytime naps benefit memory
retention, compared to comparable amounts of active wakefulness. Yet recent evidence also …

New memories are labile and consolidate over time. Contemporary findings demonstrate
that, like sleep, awake quiescence supports consolidation: people remember more new …

Impaired spatial navigation is early marker of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We examined ability
of self-and informant-reported navigation questionnaires to discriminate between clinically …

Navigation through space is based on memory representations of landmarks ('place') or
movement sequences ('response'). Over time, memory representations transform through …

Reducing sensory experiences during the period that immediately follows learning improves
long-term memory retention in healthy humans, and even preserves memory in patients with …

Awake quiescence immediately after encoding is conducive to episodic memory
consolidation. Retrieval can render episodic memories labile again, but reconsolidation can …

This thesis investigates online, offline and transfer learning for decision making tasks using
a combination of behavioural experiments, computational modelling and …

Aunque se conoce que las alteraciones de las funciones ejecutivas generan dificultades
para procesar estratégicamente la información en la memoria episódica, se desconoce …

Episodic memory was initially defined as our ability to relive event-specific details and to
remember the temporal context in which those details occurred. A rich tradition of laboratory …
