Cory Blaiss, then at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and her colleagues genetically engineered mice such that the researchers could selectively turn neurogenesis on or off in a brain region called the hippocampus, a ribbon of tissue located under the neocortex that is important for learning and memory.

They used a somewhat bizarre technique in which two mice were sutured together in such as way that they shared a circulatory system (known as parabiosis), and found old mice joined to their youthful counterparts showed changes in gene activity in a brain region called the hippocampus as well as increased neural connections and enhanced «synaptic plasticity» — a mechanism believed to underlie learning and memory in which the strength of neural connections change in response to experience.

Neurons are born in two areas: a memory - and - learning center called the hippocampus and the subventricular zone, which surrounds the two vacant spaces in the middle of the brain.

On the surface of our numerous star - shaped brain cells called astrocytes, they have found the molecule LRP4 is important in ensuring healthy levels of a brain chemical that enables learning and memory, said Dr. Lin Mei, chairman of the Department of Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University and Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar in Neuroscience.

APPL is found throughout the fruit - fly brain, but primarily in the so - called alpha - beta neurons that are vital to learning processes and memory.

What's more, the same mechanisms are likely at play in one of the most common forms of epilepsy, called temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), which targets brain regions responsible for learning and memory.

Researchers also knew that the composition of the receptor, which is made up of four subunits, is different in children than in adults, says Princeton University neurobiologist Joe Tsien; in children, who generally have better memories and seem to learn faster, the receptor contains more of the subunit called NR2B.

Those key cells are called GABAergic interneurons in the hilus of the hippocampus, an area of the brain involved in learning and memory and affected by Alzheimer's disease.

Using a technique called parabiosis, in which the vascular systems of two mice are surgically connected, Villeda's lab had previously discovered that infusing old mice with the blood of younger mice leads to brain rejuvenation, including improvements in learning and memory, while infusions of old blood cause premature brain aging in young mice.

Klotho's benefits may be due to its effect on a certain type of neurotransmitter receptor in the brain, called NMDA, that is crucially involved in learning and memory.

The findings revealed that prenatal exposure to a commonly used antiepileptic drug called valproic acid (VPA) inhibited the birth of new neurons in the brains of adult mice and impaired their performance on learning and memory tasks.

That site is located in a gene called HDAC4, known to be critical for learning and memory in mice.

In both humans and mice, learning and memory requires effective communication between brain cells called neurons.

In fact, numerous animal studies show that soy isoflavones interfere with an enzyme called tyrosine kinase in the hippocampus, a brain region involved with learning and memorIn fact, numerous animal studies show that soy isoflavones interfere with an enzyme called tyrosine kinase in the hippocampus, a brain region involved with learning and memorin the hippocampus, a brain region involved with learning and memory.

Studies show that nitric oxide signaling and the blood flow increases it stimulates play a central role in nerve cell maintenance, growth and repair.,, Most pertinent to anyone looking to enhance their aptitude for learning, nitric oxide - induced blood flow also makes forming new memories physically possible as it plays a key role in what neurologists call long - term potentiation, a process required for assembling and reinforcing new synaptic connections throughout the entire cerebral cortex, striatum, and hippocampus.

Research of adults in their mid 60s showed that an area of the brain called the hippocampus, the seat of learning and memory, grew in the subjects who walked regularly compared to subjects who did other forms of exercise.

In 1973, Anderson and Bower developed the model called «human associative memory or HAM» wherein learning is based on memory of «facts, time, predicate (or subject), and objects (or relationships)» (Saettler, 2004, p. 327).

So the trick for trainers and instructional designers: providing instruction in such a way that learning in working memory can be moved to long - term memory where it will, we hope, be called upon as needed, possibly in a not - very - conscious way.
