DNA methylation, histone acetylation in the regulation of memory and its modulation during aging by Padmanabh Singh, Vijay Paramanik

“…In the present review, we discussed the importance of DNA methylation and histone acetylation on chromatin modifications, regulation of synaptic plasticity gene expression and memory consolidation, and modulation of these epigenetic marks by epigenetic modifiers such as phytochemicals and vitamins. …”

Serotonergic Modulation of Conditioned Fear by Judith R. Homberg

“…Understanding how neuromodulators drive the associated learning and memory processes, including memory consolidation, retrieval/expression, and extinction (recall), is essential in the understanding of (individual differences in vulnerability to) these disorders and their treatment. …”

Contributions of Matrix Metalloproteinases to Neural Plasticity, Habituation, Associative Learning and Drug Addiction by John W. Wright, Joseph W. Harding

“…However, our knowledge concerning the precise spatial and temporal relationships among the mechanisms of neural plasticity, habituation, associative learning, and memory consolidation is far from complete and the possibility that these phenomena mediate drug addiction is a new direction of research.…”

Clocking In Time to Gate Memory Processes: The Circadian Clock Is Part of the Ins and Outs of Memory by Oliver Rawashdeh, Rex Parsons, Erik Maronde

Mice with Catalytically Inactive Cathepsin A Display Neurobehavioral Alterations by O. Y. Calhan, V. Seyrantepe

“…Hippocampal endothelin-1 and oxytocin accumulated in CathAS190A mice, which showed learning impairments as well as long-term and spatial memory deficits compared with wild-type littermates, suggesting that CathA plays a significant role in learning and in memory consolidation through its regulatory role in vasoactive peptide processing.…”

Thalamic spindles and Up states coordinate cortical and hippocampal co-ripples in humans. by Charles W Dickey, Ilya A Verzhbinsky, Sophie Kajfez, Burke Q Rosen, Christopher E Gonzalez, Patrick Y Chauvel, Sydney S Cash, Sandipan Pati, Eric Halgren

“…Thus, thalamo-cortical spindles and Up states, rather than thalamic ripples, may provide input facilitating spatially distributed co-rippling that integrates information for memory consolidation during sleep in humans.…”

Clonidine Use for the Treatment of Nightmares in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder by Jill S. Bange, Kelly E. Melvin

“…Current proposed mechanisms of action for clonidine’s ability to control nightmare symptoms in PTSD include that clonidine may alter the proportions of REM and non-REM sleep in a dose-dependent manner or that clonidine may play a role in memory consolidation. Further formal medication trials are the ideal future direction for establishing this role for clonidine.…”

Behavioral Tagging: A Translation of the Synaptic Tagging and Capture Hypothesis by Diego Moncada, Fabricio Ballarini, Haydée Viola

“…The hypothesis postulates that the formation of lasting memories relies on at least two processes: the setting of a learning tag and the synthesis of plasticity related proteins, which once captured at tagged sites allow memory consolidation. BT explains how weak events, only capable of inducing transient forms of memories, can result in lasting memories when occurring close in time with other behaviorally relevant experiences that provide proteins. …”

A hypothesis about interrelations of epigenetic factors and transposable elements in memory formation by R. N. Mustafin

“…Long non-coding RNAs and microRNAs also originate from transposons; their role in memory consolidation has been described. Pathological activation of transposable elements is a likely cause of neurodegenerative diseases with memory impairment. …”

Emotional stress increases GluA2 expression and potentiates fear memory via adenylyl cyclase 5 by Qian Yang, Ahmad Abdulla, Muhammad Farooq, Yoshihiro Ishikawa, Siqiong June Liu

“…We have previously shown in mice that exposure to predator odor stress elevates GluA2 transcription in cerebellar molecular layer interneurons (MLIs), and MLI activity is required for fear memory consolidation. Here, we identified the critical involvement of adenylyl cyclase 5, in both the stress-induced increase in GluA2 in MLIs and the enhancement of fear memory. …”

High-fat diet triggers transcriptomic changes in the olfactory bulb by Young-Kook Kim, Danbi Jo, Seoyoon Choi, Juhyun Song

“…Recent studies have focused on olfactory dysfunction in patients with obesity and diabetes accompanied by cognitive dysfunction, considering that the synaptic signal from the olfactory bulb is directly transmitted to memory consolidation–related brain regions. This study investigated transcriptomic changes in the olfactory bulb in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice compared to that in normal-diet–fed mice. …”
