Here, we review the basis of contextual memory at a conceptual and cellular level. We begin with an overview philosophical foundations traversing space, followed by theories covering material bases representations in hippocampus (engrams), exploring functional characteristics cells subfields within. Next, explore various methodological approaches for investigating engrams, emphasizing plasticity mechanisms. This leads us to discuss role neuromodulatory inputs governing these dynamic changes....
Episodic memories are temporally segmented around event boundaries that tend to coincide with moments of environmental change. During these times, the state brain should change rapidly, or reset, ensure information encountered before and after an boundary is encoded in different neuronal populations. Norepinephrine (NE) thought facilitate this network reorganization. However, it unknown whether drive NE release hippocampus and, if so, how relates changes hippocampal firing patterns. The...

Prenatal alcohol exposure can produce disruptions in a wide range of cognitive functions, but it is especially detrimental to spatial navigation. In open environments, rodents organize their behaviors around centralized locations, termed home bases, from which they make circuitous and slow locomotor trips (progressions) into the rest environment. Open-field are organized even under darkened test conditions, suggesting role for self-motion cues (vestibular, motor, etc.). The impact moderate...
Abstract Background Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) can produce deficits in a wide range of cognitive functions but is especially detrimental to behaviors requiring accurate spatial information processing. In open field environments, behavior organized such that animals establish “home bases” marked by long stops focused around one location. Progressions away from the home base are circuitous and slow, while progressions directed toward non‐circuitous fast. The impact PAE on organization has...

The identification of protein aggregates as biomarkers for neurodegeneration is an area interest disease diagnosis and treatment development. In this work, we present novel super luminescent conjugated polyelectrolyte molecules ex vivo sensors tau-paired helical filaments (PHFs) amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques. We evaluated the use two oligo-p-phenylene ethynylenes (OPEs), anionic OPE12− cationic OPE24+, stains fibrillar pathology in brain sections transgenic mouse (rTg4510) rat (TgF344-AD) models...
