Recent developments in "Aplysia" are helping to narrow the gap in the…

Joels, Marian; Krugers, Harm; Wiegert, Olof – Learning & Memory, 2006
Stress facilitates memory formation, but only when the stressor is closely linked to the learning context. These effects are, at least in part, mediated by corticosteroid hormones. Here we demonstrate that corticosterone rapidly facilitates synaptic potentiation in the mouse hippocampal CA1 area when high levels of the hormone and high-frequency…
