PSYC3241 Study Guide - Final Guide: Glucocorticoid Receptor, Sug, Receptor Antagonist
Document Summary
3/1/2016 11:14:00 pm: memory a century of consolidation. Mcgaugh, 2000: hypothesis proposed 100yrs ago by muller & pilzecker, exp show that processes underlying new mem initially persist in a fragile state + consolidate over time, mc theory provides explanation for ra: The amygdala: epi does not freely pass blood brain barrier. Clear that diff brain regions process diff forms of mem. Amgy not the locus of the enhanced mem. Glucocorticoid receptors are densely located in hip likely involved in mediating glucose influences on mc. Hip + straitum process diff forms of mem. & amgy modulates mc by regulating the processing in these regions lesion to bla block the induction of long term potentiation in the hip. Clear that mc involves interactions among neural sys + cellular. Human studies find similar results to those conducted on animals. Mc involves time dependent re-org of the brain representation shown through pet scans of brains after learning motor activity.
