Activity-dependent myelination in prefrontal circuits signals the offset of infantile amnesia

Ali Golbabaei, Adam I. Ramsaran, Asim J. Rashid, Mitchell L. de Snoo, Dina Karamboulas, Jiaoyang Wo, Baraneh Shahrbandi, Yiyan Li, Beatrix S. Wang, Ashleigh Willis, Mamoru Fukuchi, Satoshi Kida, David R Kaplan, Freda D. Miller, Sheena A. Josselyn, Paul W. Frankland

The paper shows that activity in the prelimbic cortex of developing mice promotes myelination and memory persistence, delaying infantile amnesia when inhibited.

Neurogenesis-dependent transformation of hippocampal memory traces during systems consolidation

Ali Golbabaei, Cesar A.O. Coelho, Mitchell L. de Snoo, Antonietta De Cristofaro, Sheena A. Josselyn, Paul W. Frankland

The paper shows that hippocampal memory resolution decreases over time, and this transformation depends on adult hippocampal neurogenesis.
