introduction: recent studies suggest that glucocorticoids modulate memory reconsolidation. moreover, cholinergic system is involved in memory reconsolidation. since glucocorticoids interact with brain cholinergic system in modulating memory processing, we investigated whether glucocorticoid influences on the reconsolidation of emotionally arousing training depend on the cholinergic system. meth...

Memory is the cognitive ability that allows acquiring, store and recalling information. Anterior thalamic dysfunction creates memory deficits in rats and humans. Anterior thalamus forms a memory network in connection with the hippocampus. This connectivity profile proposes that ventrolateral and anterior thalamus may display a nexus between reminder and control functions, such as action or atte...

Recent findings from neuroimaging, event-related potential and lesion investigations reflect a rapidly emerging view that the memory system is widely distributed throughout the cortex. It is clear that the pattern of cortical involvement during encoding and retrieval of memories is critically dependent on the nature and complexity of task demands. This has implications, both for existing models...
