Spatial memory, among many other brain processes, shows hemispheric lateralization. Most of the published evidence suggests that the right hippocampus plays a leading role in the manipulation of spati
There is now extensive evidence that the hippocampus replays experiences during quiet rest periods, and that this replay benefits subsequent memory. A critical open question is how memories are priori
Here, we developed an approach to examine the effect of adding training trials or spacing on memory and used genetic and behavioral manipulations in Drosophila to examine the mechanismos involved.
Behavioral experiences activate the Fos transcription factor (TF) in sparse populations of neurons that are critical for encoding and recalling specific events. However, there is limited understanding
The hippocampus is essential for consolidating transient experiences into long-lasting memories. Memory consolidation is facilitated by postlearning sleep, although the underlying cellular mechanisms
