Summary

This study reveals that combining Hebbian and anti-Hebbian learning in inhibitory circuits enhances associative memory. This dual plasticity increases temporal association spans and input sensitivity in memory models.

Restoring Memory Formation in a Memory-Deficient Mouse Model through Allosteric Modulation

Begin with a genetically modified (GM) mouse with disrupted downstream signaling of mGluR5, a neurotransmitter receptor.In the hippocampus of a regular mouse, mGluR5 regulates endocytosis of fast-acting excitatory receptors from existing synapses, weakening them.Internalized receptors are recycled to newly formed synapses, strengthening them for memory formation.In the GM mouse, impaired mGluR5 signaling reduces receptor redistribution, disrupting new memory formation.Expose the mouse to a...

C. elegans Positive Butanone Learning, Short-term, and Long-term Associative Memory Assays

Here we describe methods to test C. elegans associative learning and short- and long-term associative memory. These population assays employ the worms abilities to chemotax toward volatile odorants, and form positive associations upon pairing food with the chemoattractant butanone. Increasing the number of conditioning periods induces long-term...

Aversive Associative Learning and Memory Formation by Pairing Two Chemicals in Caenorhabditis elegans

We have previously developed protocols for Caenorhabditis elegans to form short- and long-term associative memories by massed and spaced training, respectively. Here, detailed protocols are described for the conditioning of C. elegans by pairing 1-propanol and hydrochloric acid as conditioned and unconditioned stimuli, respectively, to form aversive associative...

An Introduction to Learning and Memory

Learning is the process of acquiring new information and memory is the retention or storage of that information. Different types of learning, such as non-associative and associative learning, and different types of memory, such as long-term and short-term memory, have been associated with human behaviors. Studying these components in detail helps behavioral scientists understand the neural mechanisms behind these two complex phenomena.

Shuttle Box Assay as an Associative Learning Tool for Cognitive Assessment in Learning and Memory Studies using Adult Zebrafish

Learning and memory are potent metrics in studying either developmental, disease-dependent, or environmentally induced cognitive impairments. Most cognitive assessments require specialized equipment and extensive time commitments. However, the shuttle box assay is an associative learning tool that utilizes a conventional gel box for rapid and reliable assessment of adult zebrafish cognition.
