Munro (1951) showed that nitrogen retention in rats is reduced when calorie intake is restricted. Although an adaptive process to continued moderate calorie restriction was demonstrated with dogs (Rosenthal & Allison, 1 9 5 1 ) and man (Drury, Vaughan & Hannon, 1959), a linear relationship between N balance and the amount of carbohydrate given along with the protein of the diet was observed in ...

Our previous experiments showed that sleep in rats enhances consolidation of hippocampus dependent episodic-like memory, i.e. the ability to remember an event bound into specific spatio-temporal context. Here we tested the hypothesis that this enhancing effect of sleep is linked to the occurrence of slow oscillatory and spindle activity during slow wave sleep (SWS). Rats were tested on an episo...

In a simulated aircraft navigation task, a fusion technique known as triangulation was used to improve the accuracy and onscreen availability of location information from two separate radars. Three experiments investigated whether the reduced cognitive processing required to extract information from the fused environment led to impoverished retention of visual-spatial information. Experienced p...
