Sekeres, Melanie J.; Moscovitch, Morris; Grady, Cheryl L.; Sullens, D. Gregory; Winocur, Gordon – Learning & Memory, 2020
Conditioned fear memories that are context-specific shortly after conditioning generalize over time. We exposed rats to a context reminder 30 d after conditioning, which served to reinstate context-specificity, and investigated how this reminder alters retrieval-induced activity in the hippocampus and anterior cingulate cortex (aCC) relative to a…

Grégoire, Laurent; Anderson, Brian A. – Learning & Memory, 2019
This study aimed to determine whether attentional prioritization of stimuli associated with reward transfers across conceptual knowledge independently of physical features. Participants successively performed two color-word Stroop tasks. In the learning phase, neutral words were associated with high, low, or no monetary reward. In the…

Pavesi, Eloisa; Heldt, Scott A.; Fletcher, Max L. – Learning & Memory, 2013
Experience-induced changes associated with odor learning are mediated by a number of signaling molecules, including nitric oxide (NO), which is predominantly synthesized by neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the brain. In the current study, we investigated the role of nNOS in the acquisition and retention of conditioned olfactory fear. Mice…

Dunsmoor, Joseph E.; Mitroff, Stephen R.; LaBar, Kevin S. – Learning & Memory, 2009
The present study investigated the extent to which fear generalization in humans is determined by the amount of fear intensity in nonconditioned stimuli relative to a perceptually similar conditioned stimulus. Stimuli consisted of graded emotionally expressive faces of the same identity morphed between neutral and fearful endpoints. Two…

Weiler, Julia A.; Bellebaum, Christian; Daum, Irene – Learning & Memory, 2008
Reward-based associative learning is mediated by a distributed network of brain regions that are dependent on the dopaminergic system. Age-related changes in key regions of this system, the striatum and the prefrontal cortex, may adversely affect the ability to use reward information for the guidance of behavior. The present study investigated the…
