These experiments examined the effects of pre-test intra dorsal hippocampus (intra-CA1) administration of GABAA receptor agonist and antagonist, muscimol and bicuculline respectively, on state-dependent learning induced by lithium. Male NMRI mice were trained in a one-trial step-down inhibitory avoidance task, and immediately after training they received IP injections of either saline (10 mL/kg...

This chapter examines the role of moods in selective memory. Reviewed are repression, mood selectivity, mood state dependent retrieval, and reduced capacity due to depression. Briefly discussed are demand characteristics, interpretation of and inconsistencies in experimental findings and asymmetrical effects of moods on memory.

BACKGROUND Lithium, a mood stabilizer, may exert adverse effects on memory. We have previously shown that lithium induces state-dependent learning. Cholinergic systems of the brain may play an important role in memory function and mood regulation. In the present study, the effects of intra-dorsal hippocampal (intra-CA1) injections of lithium and scopolamine on memory and cross state-dependent l...

Stimulant drugs facilitate both encoding and retrieval of salient information in laboratory animals, but less is known about their effects on memory for emotionally salient visual images in humans. The current study investigated dextroamphetamine (AMP) effects on memory for emotional pictures in healthy humans, by administering the drug only at encoding, only at retrieval, or at both encoding a...

We study the problem of using proxy servers to stream video stored at a geographically separate location. The separation of the server and the storage introduces a non-negligible delay in retrieving video frames in real time. We assume an additive-increase/multiplicative-decrease transport protocol to support the streaming process and develop an effective scheme to achieve consistent, high stre...

assistance improves searching performance and when searchers desire system intervention in the search process. Forty participants interacted with two fully functional information retrieval systems in a counterbalanced , within-participant study. The systems were identical in all respects except that one offered automated assistance and the other did not. The study used a client-side automated a...
