Biological Clocks and Seasonal Responses02:45

Biological Clocks and Seasonal Responses

The circadian—or biological—clock is an intrinsic, timekeeping, molecular mechanism that allows plants to coordinate physiological activities over 24-hour cycles called circadian rhythms. Photoperiodism is a collective term for the biological responses of plants to variations in the relative lengths of dark and light periods. The period of light-exposure is called the photoperiod.
Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation02:19

Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation

The biological clock is involved in many aspects of regulating complex physiology in all animals. It was in 1935 when German zoologists, Hans Kalmus and Erwin Bünning, discovered the existence of circadian rhythm in Drosophila melanogaster. However, the internal molecular mechanisms behind the circadian clock remained a mystery until 1984, when Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W. Young discovered the expression of the Per gene oscillating over a 24-hour cycle. In subsequent years,...

Higher Mental Functions of Brain: Learning and Memory01:26

Higher Mental Functions of Brain: Learning and Memory

Memory is one of the most vital higher mental functions of the brain. Memory is closely related to learning because it enables us to retain information and experiences from our past to use them in our present life. It also helps us to remember facts, events, and skills, such as riding a bike or swimming. There are two types of memory — declarative memory, which involves memorizing facts or events, and procedural memory, which enables us to remember how to do something like writing or playing an...
Mnemonic Devices01:23

Mnemonic Devices

Mnemonic devices are cognitive tools that facilitate memory retention by linking new information to familiar patterns or organizational strategies. These techniques are beneficial for remembering complex or lengthy sets of information by simplifying and structuring them in easily retrievable ways.
Acronyms
Acronyms are created by using the initial letters of a series of words to form a new word or phrase. This approach condenses complex information into a single, memorable entity. For example,...
Cognitive Learning01:21

Cognitive Learning

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Chronobiology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Time-Place learning (TPL) is crucial for animals to locate resources and avoid predators in dynamic environments.
  • The circadian system is implicated in TPL, but its precise role in cognition remains under-investigated.
  • This review contextualizes TPL, detailing its history, functions, and future research directions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of Time-Place learning (TPL).
  • To explore the role of the circadian system in TPL, termed circadian TPL (cTPL).
  • To discuss the implications of cTPL for understanding memory and aging.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a laboratory behavioral paradigm to study TPL in mice.
  • Investigation of circadian clock gene involvement in cTPL.
  • Analysis of potential age-related changes in cTPL.

Main Results:

  • A behavioral paradigm was established to demonstrate the circadian nature of TPL in mice.
  • Circadian TPL (cTPL) was found to be dependent on Cry clock genes.
  • Preliminary findings suggest cTPL is independent of Per genes.

Conclusions:

  • Cry genes are essential for circadian TPL, highlighting their role in circadian rhythms.
  • cTPL may serve as a model for studying episodic memory and the effects of aging on memory.
  • Further research is needed to elucidate the neurobiological mechanisms underlying TPL.
