Walker, Susan P.; Chang, Susan M.; Younger, Novie; Grantham-McGregor, Sally M. – Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 2010
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine whether psychosocial stimulation up to the age of 2 years benefits cognition and behaviour at age 6 years in low-birthweight, term-born (LBW-T) children (gestational age greater than or equal to 37wk, birthweight less than 2500g), and to compare LBW-T and normal-birthweight (NBW) children. Method: LBW-T…

Huang, Yan-You; Kandel, Eric R. – Learning & Memory, 2006
Protein synthesis-dependent late phase of LTP (L-LTP) is typically induced by repeated high-frequency stimulation (HFS). This form of L-LTP is reduced in the aged animal and is positively correlated with age-related memory loss. Here we report a novel form of protein synthesis-dependent late phase of LTP in the CA1 region of hippocampus induced by…

Villarreal, Ronald P.; Steinmetz, Joseph E. – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2005
How the nervous system encodes learning and memory processes has interested researchers for 100 years. Over this span of time, a number of basic neuroscience methods has been developed to explore the relationship between learning and the brain, including brain lesion, stimulation, pharmacology, anatomy, imaging, and recording techniques. In this…
