Targeted memory reactivation (TMR) is a method whereby cues associated with previous learning are used to externally reactivate aspects of this learning. Research findings demonstrate that TMR can be a useful tool to enhance memory consolidation during sleep in both animals and humans, especially in the declarative/spatial domain. Neurocognitive processing during sleep with covert cueing via auditory or olfactory stimulation can benefit memory storage. These beneficial effects on memory consolidation during sleep are associated with the activation of memory-related brain areas. The purpose of the present review is to provide a short overview of the findings of studies that adopted the TMR method of sleep-dependent memory consolidation and to suggest the potential applications of TMR in variable areas.

Recent experiments investigating the analgesic or anti-stress effects of electro-acupuncture provide extensive evidence that opioid or stress hormone system is involved in those effects, respectively. It has been also suggested that opioid or stress hormones modulate long-term memory consolidation or retrieval in animals and human subjects. This article reviews the possibilitythat electroacupuncture can modulate memory consolidation or retrieval. The release of serum cortisol is enhanced or reduced by high-frequency or low-frequency electroacupuncture, respectively. Also the release of beta endorphin and enkephalin is enhanced by low-frequency electroacupuncture and the release of dynorphin is enhanced by high-frequency electroacupunture. The memory consolidation is enhanced by post-training injection of Glucocorticoids, Naloxone or Dynorphin. So this review suggests strongly that memory consolidation can be modulated by electroacupuncture.

Several lines of evidence indicate that adenosine $A_{2A}$ agonist disrupts spatial working memory. However, it is unclear which stages of learning and memory are affected by the stimulation of adenosine $A_{2A}$ receptor. To clarify these points, we employed CV-1808 as adenosine $A_{2A}$ agonist and investigated its effects on acquisition, consolidation, and retrieval phases of learning and memory using passive avoidance and the Morris water maze tasks. During the acquisition phase, CV-1808 (2-phenylaminoadenosine, 1 and 2 mg/kg, i.p.) decreased the latency time in passive avoidance task and the mean savings in the Morris water maze task, respectively. During the consolidation and retrieval phase tests, CV-1808 did not exhibited any effects on latency time in passive avoidance task and the mean savings in the Morris water maze task. These results suggest that CV-1808 as an adenosine $A_{2A}$ agonist impairs memory acquisition but not consolidation or retrieval.

Study in the field of sleep and memory has greatly expanded recently and the number of publications supporting the association between sleep and memory consolidation is rapidly growing. This study presents evidence related to sleep-dependent memory consolidation, ranging from behavioral task-performing studies to molecular studies, and several arguments against the association. Basic researches show that many genes are upwardly regulated during sleep and patterns of brain activation seen during daytime task training are repeated during subsequent REM sleep. Several electrophysiological studies demonstrate the correlation between spindle density increase following training and subsequent improvement in performing the training task. Overnight improvement or deterioration in task performance correlates with REM or SWS sleep. In the end, a lot of issues remain to be studied and discussed further in the future in spite of supporting evidence now available.

Purpose : The objective of this study was to determine efficacy of sleep-dependent motor learning. Methods : This is a literature study with books and internet. We searched the PubMed, Science Direct, KISS and DBpia. Key words were Sleep-dependent, motor learning, RAM and LTP. Results : Procedural memory, like declarative memory, undergoes a slow, time-dependent period of consolidation. A process has recently been described wherein performance on some procedural task improves with the mere passage of time and has been termed "enhancement". Some studies have reported that the consolidation/enhancement of perceptual and motor skill is dependent on sleep. Specially, rapid-eye-movement(REM) sleep seems to benefit procedural aspects of memory. Conclusion : Motor learning is very important for CNS injury patients. And also distribution of practice sessions is important because REM sleep is to benefit procedural aspects of memory consolidation.

Several lines of evidence indicate that scopolamine as a nonselective muscarinic antagonist disrupts object recognition performance and spatial working memory when administered systemically. In the present study, we investigated the different effects of scopolamine on acquisition, consolidation, and retrieval phases of object recognition performance and spatial working memory using the object recognition and the Morris water maze tasks in mice. In the acquisition phase test, scopolamine decreased recognition index on object recognition task and the trial 1 to trial 2 differences on Morris water maze task. In the consolidation and retrieval phase tests, scopolamine also decreased recognition index on object recognition task, where as scopolamine did not exhibited any effects on the Morris water maze task.

Pavlovian fear conditioning has been extensively studied for the understanding of neurobiological basis of memory and emotion. Pavlovian fear conditioning is an associative memory which forms when conditioned stimulus (CS) is paired with unconditioned stimulus (US) once or repeatedly. This behavioral model is also important for the understanding of anxiety disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder. Here we describe the neural circuitry involved in fear conditioning and the molecular mechanisms underlying fear memory formation. During consolidation some memories fade out but other memories become stable and concrete. Emotion plays an important role in determining which memories will survive. Memory becomes unstable and editable again immediately after retrieval. It opens the possibility for us of modulating the established fear memory. It provides us with very efficient tools to improve the efficacy of cognitive-behavior therapy and other exposure-based therapy treating anxiety disorders.

SMP(Symmetric Multi-Processing)는 Shared memory bus 를 사용함으로써 scalability 가 제한적이었다. 이런 SMP의 scalability 제한을 극복하기 위해 제안 된 것이 NUMA(Non Uniform Memory Access)이다. NUMA는 memory bus 를 CPU 별 local 하게 가지고 있어 자신이 가지는 memory 영역에 대해서는 다른 영역을 접근하는 것 보다 더 빠른 latency 를 가지는 구조이다. Local 한 memory 영역의 존재는 scalability를 높여 주었지만 서버 가상화 환경에서 VM을 동적으로 scheduling 을 하였을 때 VM의 page 가 실행되는 core 의 local 한 메모리 영역에 존재하지 않게 되면 remote access로 인해 local access보다 성능이 떨어진다. 이 논문에서는 서버 가상화 환경에서 최신 architecture인 AMD bulldozer에서 NUMA affinity가 위반되었을 때 발생하는 성능 저하와 어떤 상황에서 이런 NUMA affinity가 위반되어도 성능저하가 없는지 연구하였다.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of red ginseng extract including some vitamin B groups as test drug on learning and memory in mice. Single and repeated administrations of the test drug improved the acquisition and the process of consolidation in the tests using step-through and step-down apparatus, indicating this test drug improved learning and memory. However, the test drug did not improve scopolamine-induced amnesia. These results suggest that test drug may be useful as a nootropic agent.

학습자의 학습 스트레스 수준(stress level)과 금전적 보상(monetary rewards)의 제시 시점 차이가 장, 단기 기억수행에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 지연-파지 효과(delay-retention effect)에서는 지연 보상 (delayed reward)이 기억의 공고화(consolidation) 과정을 촉진시켜 결과적으로 장기 기억 수행을 향상시키게 된다고 주장한다. 본 연구에서는 지연 보상과 즉시 보상(immediate reward)이 학습 스트레스가 높고, 낮은 맥락의 차이에 따라 기억 수행에 미치는 영향력이 다를 것이라 예상하였다. 따라서 학습 맥락을 학습 스트레스가 높고, 낮은 두 조건으로 나누고, 보상 조건과 기억의 인출 시점을 구분하여 실험하였다. 보상 조건은 보상 제시 시점(5초 후 제시, 바로 제시)과 보상의 유무(500원, 0원)를 구분하였고, 기억 검사는 바로 인출하는 경우와 기억 공고화 과정을 거치고 일주일 후 인출하는 경우로 나누었다. 실험 결과 지연 보상은 장기 기억에 이점 효과가 있었고, 즉시 보상은 단기 기억에만 이점 효과가 나타났다. 이러한 보상의 기억 이점 효과는 스트레스가 높은 학습 맥락에서만 관찰되었다. 본 결과는 학습자가 지각하는 학습 스트레스 수준이 높을수록 보상에 대한 민감도가 높으며, 학습 후 즉시 보상 보다 지연 보상이 기억 공고화 과정에서 기억을 촉진시키는 역할을 수행하여 결과적으로 장기 기억력을 향상시킴을 시사한다.
