TL;DR: It is proposed that with the onset of strong emotionality, the hippocampus rapidly shifts from a “configural/cognitive map” mode to a ‘flashbulb memory’ mode, which underlies the long-lasting, but fragmented, nature of traumatic memories.

TL;DR: These findings provide novel observations regarding rapidly induced changes in the expression of molecular plasticity in response to spatial learning, predator exposure, and stress‐induced amnesia in brainregions involved in different aspects of memory processing.

TL;DR: Evidence at a molecular level is provided for the involvement of the hippocampus and BLA in the retrieval of spatial memory and novel observations on the influence of pre-training stress in activating the DLS in response to long-term memory retrieval are contributed.

TL;DR: These results are the first to demonstrate a protective effect of aldosterone on age-related hearing loss and pave the way for translational drug development, using ald testosterone as a key component to prevent or slow down the progression of ARHL.

TL;DR: This series of experiments has extended the use of predator exposure in conjunction with conventional reinforcers, such as foot shock and immobilization, to advance the understanding of the neurobiology of traumatic memory.
