Behavioral pattern separation and cognitive flexibility are enhanced in a mouse model of increased lateral entorhinal cortex-dentate gyrus circuit activity

This study shows that increasing lateral entorhinal cortex-dentate gyrus circuit activity in mice improves behavioral pattern separation and cognitive flexibility, along with increased neurogenesis.

Multi-domain touchscreen-based cognitive assessment of C57BL/6J female mice shows whole body exposure to 56Fe particle space radiation in maturity improves discrimination learning yet impairs stimulus-response habit learning

This study shows that whole-body exposure to 56Fe radiation in mature female C57BL/6J mice improves hippocampal-dependent discrimination learning but impairs striatal-dependent rule-based learning.
