Sex Differences in Spatial Memory.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured spatial learning and memory in male and female rats by using Morris water maze (MWM) task and examined hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) at perforant pathway-dentate gyrus synapses.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of gender difference in response to KMP on the rat model of sporadic Alzheimer's disease was evaluated, and it was reported that chronic KMP treatment increase significantly improved acquisition and retrieval of spatial memory as evident by longer TTS (total time spent) and short-latency to the platform in MWM.

TL;DR: Evidence that endocrine status of an animal (presence or absence of stress hormones, gonadal hormones, or endocrine disruptors) impacts cognitive function and, at times, in a sex-specific manner is discussed.

TL;DR: It is found that females searched slightly faster than males during habituation with a visible platform and during learning, both male and female rats decreased the latency and distance traveled to find the hidden platform over the days.

TL;DR: The human frontal cortex helps mediate working memory, a system that is used for temporary storage and manipulation of information and that is involved in many higher cognitive functions.

TL;DR: For instance, this article found that the detection of change when one display of familiar objects replaces another display might be based purely upon visual codes, or also on identity information (i.e., knowing what was present where in the initial display).

TL;DR: To examine whether the linking of object information with the spatial information needed to guide behavior occurs within the prefrontal (PF) cortex, the activity of 195 PF neurons was recorded during a task that engaged both what and where working memory.

TL;DR: Tulving as discussed by the authors argues for the distinction between episodic and semantic memory as functionally separate albeit closely interacting systems and discusses empirical and theoretical reasons for a tentative acceptance of the functional distinction between the two systems and its possible extensions.
