Hippocampal clock regulates memory retrieval via Dopamine and PKA-induced GluA1 phosphorylation. Mice Mice (male and female, at least 8 weeks of age) were housed in cages of 5 or 6, maintained on a 12 h light/dark schedule, and allowed ad libitum access to food and water in their home cages.

GluA1 S845A knockin mice were obtained from Jackson Laboratory (stock number 012613)41,42. All of the experiments were conducted according to the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, Japan Neuroscience Society and Tokyo University of Agriculture. All the animal experiments were approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of Tokyo University of Agriculture (authorization number: 280036). All surgical procedures were performed under Nembutal anesthesia, and every effort was made to minimize suffering. Generation of transgenic mice Transgenic mice were generated as described previously43,44. Administration of Dox RNA analyses RNA-sequencing Total RNA from hippocampus was isolated using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

As we await the vote on Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation and the results of the ongoing FBI investigation, America is left to ruminate a little longer on the testimonies he and Christine Blasey Ford gave before the U.S.

Senate Judiciary Committee. Both were highly emotional and heartfelt. Ford sounded like someone who had experienced a trauma, and Kavanaugh sounded like a man falsely accused. Both left you wanting to believe the person on the stand, even if neither’s story remained completely consistent. But who should we believe? The Constructive Nature of Episodic Memory Sometime in the early 1980s, Sigmund Freud’s theories of the subconscious and the psychosexual stages of childhood experienced a resurgence in popular culture.

The science of “recovered memories” has since been mostly discredited, and according to the American Psychological Association, “Little or no empirical support for such a theory” has been found.

Q: How can I improve my mem­ory?

Is there a daily exer­cise I can do to improve it? A: The most impor­tant com­po­nent of mem­ory is atten­tion. By choos­ing to attend to some­thing and focus on it, you cre­ate a per­sonal inter­ac­tion with it, which gives it per­sonal mean­ing, mak­ing it eas­ier to remember. Elab­o­ra­tion and rep­e­ti­tion are the most com­mon ways of cre­at­ing that per­sonal inter­ac­tion. Elab­o­ra­tion involves cre­at­ing a rich con­text for the expe­ri­ence by adding together visual, audi­tory, and other infor­ma­tion about the fact. One com­mon tech­nique used by stu­dents, is actu­ally, not that help­ful. These tech­niques do help you improve your mem­ory on a behav­ioral level, but not on a fun­da­men­tal brain struc­ture level.

Focus Alert­ness, focus, con­cen­tra­tion, moti­va­tion, and height­ened aware­ness are largely a mat­ter of atti­tude. If you want to learn or remem­ber some­thing, con­cen­trate on just that one thing. Keep read­ing… Potpourri.

Rent was $350, and it had shag carpet and a window that faced a gas station parking lot and beyond that, the courthouse. I had piles of magazines: Us Weekly, Vogue, Teen Vogue, W, Glamour, Jane, Vanity Fair, Harper’s, Zoetrope, Poetry, The Believer. I read—read, not looked at—all of them from cover to cover each month (or in the case of Us Weekly, each week), and some I read twice. But when I had two of the same magazine (this was often the case), and when I was done with the tabloids, and when I was done with the three different newspapers that contained the three different crossword puzzles I did each day, and when I stole Neiman Marcus catalogues from my grandma, I would make abstract collages on composition books, which I would then fill with poetry, grocery lists, resolutions, recriminations, and long passages from library books that I painstakingly copied by hand.
