Pilocarpine seizure cause age-dependent impairment in auditory location discrimination

Article Abstract:

A naturalistic auditory location discrimination method is used to evaluate the extent to which status epilepticus causes deficits in auditory discrimination using an animal model of status epilepticus. The results suggest that status epilepticus in rat causes an age-dependent, long-term impairment in auditory discrimination, which might explain one cause of impaired auditory location discrimination in humans.

Medical prefrontal cortex lesions abolish contextual control of competing responses

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to investigate the effect of damage to medical prefrontal cortex subregions in a rat. The results suggest a role for the anterior cingulate cortex in the detection of response conflict, and for the medical prefrontal cortex in the contextual control of competing response, providing evidence for the functional specialization within the rat prefrontal cortex.

Birding the gap between brain and behavior: Cognitive and neural mechanisms of episodic memory

Article Abstract:

Episodic memory is envisioned as the rapid encoding of episodes as sequences of conjunctive features of events and their places. The hippocampus is critically involved in the encoding and retrieval of episodic memories through supporting information-processing mechanisms.
