Brain is concerned with the thoughts, feelings, perception, learning, memory and behaviour. The present review discusses some of the prominent molecular pathways governing memory acquisition, storage and subsequent consolidation.

long-term potentiation (ltp) is a process that certain types of synaptic stimulation lead to a long-lasting enhancement in the strength of synaptic transmission. studies in recent years indicate the importance of molecular pathways in the development of memory and learning. tropomyosin receptor kinase b (trkb) is a member of the neurotrophin receptor tyrosine kinase family, that its ligand is b...

alzheimer is age-related, progressive brain degeneration disease. it destroys memory slowly. the number of people living with ad is increasing as fast as the count of aged population and extension of bad nutrition habits. the main cause of ad is not clearly known, but prior studies noted the importance of inflammation in tau hyperphosphorylation and failure of microglia to clear ab peptide accu...

This SnapShot summarizes current knowledge about the molecules and circuitry that mediate olfactory memory formation in Drosophila, with emphasis on neural circuits carrying the learned sensory information; the molecular mechanisms for acquisition, memory storage, and forgetting; and the output pathways for memory expression.

objective: memory impairment is one of the most pervasive cognitive dysfunctions in schizophrenic patients. the aim of the current study was to conduct the most comprehensive assessment of how prospective memory (pm) is affected in schizophrenia in comparison with healthy controls. methods: in this study, 30 first-episode schizophrenic patients who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of the diagn...
