28  cards
Hippocampus and Memory
•Damage to hippocampal memory system results in anterograde amnesia and temporally-graded retrograde amnesia (leaving intact nondeclarative memory and non-memory abilities) •Process of systems consolidation explains temporally-graded retrograde amnesia •The hippocampus is evolutionarily conserved •Memory supported by the mammalian hippocampus is typically rapidly acquired, flexibly expressed, context-dependent, and, at least in humans, available to conscious recollection. - Hippocampus ancho
11  cards
spatial and temporal representations in the hippocampal memory system
•Many neurons in rodent hippocampus have receptive fields that represent spatial locations (“place cells” with “place fields”) •Hippocampal neurons in other mammals and in pigeons also show spatial specificity •Some neurons in mammalian medial entorhinalcortex show other types of spatial representations: grid cells, border cells, and head direction cells •There is a distributed place, grid, head direction cell system •Place cells respond to more than place •Spatial memory or memory space?
10  cards
memory consolidation
What is consolidation? When does consolidation happen? How long does it take? What are the mechanisms of consolidation? Where does it occur (in what parts of brain)? Why does this happen (is it functional)? What, if any, are clinical implications?
13  cards
stress
1. Define stress & stress response systems 2. The behavioral effects of prolonged stressor exposure - Recent work in depressive-like behavior; associated with corticosterone - Stressor exposure  neural remodeling, decay of neurotrophin systems - Corticotrophin Releasing Hormone as a therapeutic target 3. Discuss the multiple techniques in testing anxietylike behavior in rodents

31  cards
reward system
1. There are multiple “reward systems” in the brain, expressed as parallel systems. 

2. Two major systems can be termed “appetitive” (responding for future reward) and “consummatory” (responding for present reward).

 3. Dopamine seems to have a role in the ability of rewarding stimuli to be reinforcing (that is, bring about learning via LTP). This may be particularly important in the dorsal striatum (caudate/putamen), and form the basis of addictive behaviors. 4. Dopamine, particularly in t
