DOI: 10.1002/hipo.23404
Abstract: Most commonly used behavioral measures for testing learning and memory in the Morris water maze (MWM) involve comparisons of an animal's residence time in different quadrants of the pool. Such measures are limited in their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10339-021-01022-9
Abstract: Humans differ widely in their ability to navigate effectively through the environment and in spatial memory skills. Navigation in the environment requires the analysis of many spatial cues, the construction of internal representations, and the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/sleep/zsad077.0468
Abstract: Sleep disturbance from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) impairs overnight memory processing. This may be mediated by changes to slow wave sleep (SWS) as less slow wave activity (SWA) is associated with worse overnight spatial and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1749-4877.12622
Abstract: Theories of forgetting highlight two active mechanisms through which animals forget prior knowledge by reciprocal disruption of memories. According to "proactive interference", information learned previously interferes with the acquisition of new information, whereas "retroactive interference"… read more here.
