Introduction: The brain renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been reported having a pathological role in age-related impairment in learning and memory. Therefore, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) are expected to have positive effects on memory. Longtime treatment with captopril (an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor) significantly attenuates the age-related impairment in learn...

Pigeons' performance on a working memory task, symbolic delayed matching-to-sample, was used to examine the interaction between working memory and reference memory. Reference memory was established by training pigeons to discriminate between the comparison cues used in delayed matching as S+ and S- stimuli. Delayed matching retention tests then measured accuracy when working and reference memor...

This paper presents Cerberus, an eÆcient system for simulating the execution of shared-memory multiprocessor programs on a uniprocessor workstation. Using EDS (execution driven simulation), it generates address traces which can be used to drive cache simulations on the y, eliminating the large disk space requirements needed by trace les. It is fast because it links the program to be traced toge...

  Numerous studies conducted in laboratory animals and humans indicate that angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors reinforce memory and learning. In this paper we study the effect of injection of enalapril into the cerebral ventricles on spatial memory of white mice in the double- y maze, following the induction of an Alzheimer- like amnestic model with scopolamine. To estimate the duration o...

In recent work, Sarah Robins, Gerardo Viera and Steven James have provided some insightful objections to the ideas offered in my book, Memory: A Self-Referential Account. this paper, I put forward responses those objections. Robins challenges idea that being a memory could be matter of having particular functional role within subject’s cognitive economy. content explain its phenomenological pro...
