The psychobiology of forgetting: Opioid receptors and inhibitory constraints on storage of long-term memory.

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project has four main national benefits. First, it addresses a fundamental scientific and practical issue: the psychobiology of forgetting. Second, it will provide important insights into variations in memory functioning across the lifespan. A significant challenge facing Australia is understanding, and where possible alleviating, the decline in mental function that occurs with age. This project may help identify targets to alleviate age-related impairments in memory. Third, this project will contribute to Australia's international reputation in behavioural neuroscience. Fourth, this project will provide outstanding training opportunities for Australian undergraduate and postgraduate research students in behavioural neuroscience.
