introduction: recent studies suggest that glucocorticoids modulate memory reconsolidation. moreover, cholinergic system is involved in memory reconsolidation. since glucocorticoids interact with brain cholinergic system in modulating memory processing, we investigated whether glucocorticoid influences on the reconsolidation of emotionally arousing training depend on the cholinergic system. meth...

Sensory memory is a short-lived persistence of a sensory stimulus in the nervous system, such as iconic memory in the visual system. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying olfactory sensory memory. We have therefore analyzed the effect of odor stimuli on the first odor-processing network in the honeybee brain, the antennal lobe, which corresponds to the vertebrate olfactory bu...

Two apparently contradictory insights about sign language can be made compatible within a formal semantic analysis: (i) the claim that directional verbs incorporate agreement markers/pronouns (e.g. Lillo-Martin and Meier 2011); (ii) the observation that directional verbs have an iconic component (e.g. Liddell 2003). I sketch formal rules that integrate iconic requirements with standard semantic...
