Parvalbumin interneurons in the anterior cingulate cortex exhibit distinct processing patterns for fear and memory in rats by Muhammad Jahangir, S. Mudasser Shah, Jian-Song Zhou, Bing Lang, Xiao-Ping Wang

“…The anterior cingulate cortex is responsible for multiple cognitive functions like fear, pain management, decision-making, risk and reward assessment, and memory consolidation. However, its cell-type-specific functions are not clearly understood. …”

The emerging role of glycine receptor α2 subunit defects in neurodevelopmental disorders by Sean D. Fraser, Sean D. Fraser, Robert J. Harvey, Robert J. Harvey

“…As a result, microcephaly is observed in newborn Glra2 knockout mice, as well as defects in neuronal morphology, increased susceptibility to seizures, and defects in novel object recognition, motor memory consolidation, righting reflexes, novelty-induced locomotion in the open field test, and motivational reward tasks. …”

NRBF2 plays a crucial role in the acquisition process of learning and memory, independent of the Vps34 complex by Songfen Wu, Songfen Wu, Songfen Wu, Haicai Zhuang, Haicai Zhuang, Haicai Zhuang, Xidan Zhou, Kuan Li, Kuan Li, Kuan Li

“…Interestingly, inhibition of Vps34 and autophagy by SAR405 disrupted fear memory consolidation, while leaving memory acquisition, short-term memory, and long-term potentiation (LTP) unaffected. …”

Patients with dementia with Lewy bodies display a signature alteration of their cognitive connectome by Roraima Yanez-Perez, Eloy Garcia-Cabello, Annegret Habich, Nira Cedres, Patricia Diaz-Galvan, Carla Abdelnour, Jon B. Toledo, José Barroso, Daniel Ferreira

“…Compared with AD, DLB showed lower nodal strength and local efficiency, especially in memory consolidation. The cognitive connectome of DLB shows a loss of segregation, leading to a loss of cognitive specialization. …”

Blobby is a synaptic active zone assembly protein required for memory in Drosophila by J. Lützkendorf, T. Matkovic-Rachid, S. Liu, T. Götz, L. Gao, O. Turrel, M. Maglione, M. Grieger, S. Putignano, N. Ramesh, T. Ghelani, A. Neumann, N. Gimber, J. Schmoranzer, A. Stawrakakis, B. Brence, D. Baum, Kai Ludwig, M. Heine, T. Mielke, F. Liu, A. M. Walter, M. C. Wahl, S. J. Sigrist

“…Blobby is also present in adult brain synapses, and post-developmental knockdown of Blobby in the mushroom body impairs olfactory aversive memory consolidation. Thus, our analysis identifies an additional layer of AZ regulation critical for developmental AZ assembly but also for AZ-mediated plasticity controlling behavior.…”

Contributions Regarding the Improvement of Specific Physical Training in 14 – 16 Year-Old Handball Players by V. Dabuleanu, G. Simion, I. Mihaila, L. Mihailescu, C. Popescu

“…The choice of plyometric exercises must imitate handball skills, to maximize the strengthening of the muscles that trigger the movement and, in certain cases, to generate "motor memory", consolidating the technical skills involved.…”
