- 探索白质道的变化是否有助于环境丰富引起的记忆丧失.
- 为了检查与髓相关的可塑性在遗忘中的作用.
主要方法:
- 诱导大脑可塑性通过环境丰富 (EE) 在环境恐惧调节后小鼠.
- 在恐惧调节测试中通过测量结行为来评估遗忘.
- 使用ex vivo大脑扩散权重的MRI分析白质的可塑性 (微分异性).
- 用克莱马斯丁烟酸盐 (一种促髓化药物) 来研究其对遗忘的影响.
- 通过颗粒细胞层体积测量神经发生.
主要成果:
- 与标准 (SE) 鼠标相比,环境丰富 (EE) 鼠标表现出显著的遗忘 (减少结时间).

Amyloid Fibrils
10.2K
Amyloid fibrils are aggregates of misfolded proteins. Under most circumstances, misfolded proteins are either refolded by chaperone proteins or degraded by the proteasome. However, in the case of a mutation or a disease, these proteins can accumulate to form large clusters and often further assemble to form elongated fibers, called fibrils.
Amyloid deposits were observed as early as 1639 in the liver and the spleen. In 1854, Rudolph Virchow performed iodine staining,...

Interference and Decay
609
Forgetting is a complex cognitive phenomenon influenced by several factors, among which interference and decay are particularly prominent. These processes explain why individuals often struggle to retrieve specific information from memory, leading to lapses in recall that can be observed in everyday situations.
Interference occurs when competing memories hinder the retrieval of particular information. It can be classified into two types: proactive and retroactive interference. Proactive...
