Scene processing is fundamentally influenced and constrained by spatial layout and spatial associations with objects. However, semantic information has played a vital role in propelling our understanding of real-world scene perception forward. In this article, we review recent advances in assessing how spatial layout and spatial relations influence...
V zaključnem delu sem želela prikazati prednosti uporabe obogatene resničnosti za učenje in pomnjenje. Obogatena resničnost postaja vse bolj razširjena in dostopna in bo kmalu del vsakodnevnih procesov, kot je učenje. Tehnologija AR ima možnost nadgraditi in obogatiti realni svet, saj ponuja obogaten prikaz z elementi, kot so vizualne, slušne, 3D i...

The hippocampus supports episodic memory via interaction with a distributed brain network. Previous experiments using network-targeted noninvasive brain stimulation have identified episodic memory enhancements and modulation of activity within the hippocampal network. However, mechanistic insights were limited because these effects were measured lo...

Endurance represents a highly adaptive function of fear memory and a major cause of maladaptive fear- and anxiety-related mental disorders. However, less is known about the mechanisms underlying the persistence of fear memory. The epigenetic gene regulation recently emerged as an important mechanism for memory persistence. In the previous study, we...

Objectives: In the present study, we explored the age differences of mood states and memory performance between younger and older adults after one night of sleep disruption.Method: Twenty-nine younger adults and 30 older adults completed mood states assessments and memory tasks before and after sleep disruption. Participants' sleep was disrupted by...
In this study, the amorphous structure of Ge-Se-Sb-N chalcogenide thin films is investigated through Raman, Infrared and X-ray Absorption Spectroscopies in the light of the electrical performances of such materials once integrated in OTS selector devices. In particular, we show that the presence of homopolar and wrong bonds in the amorphous structu...
The cellular and molecular processes involved in acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) development early after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in humans remain largely unknown. We have performed multiparameter immunophenotyping and molecular profiling of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in 2 independent cohorts of patients undergoing HCT...

Conditioned taste aversion (CTA) is a form of one-trial learning dependent on basolateral amygdala projection neurons (BLApn). Its underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. RNAseq from BLApn identified changes in multiple candidate learning-related transcripts including the expected immediate early gene Fos and Stk11, a...

Sleep and stress independently enhance emotional memory consolidation. In particular, theta oscillations (4-7 Hz) during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep increase coherence in an emotional memory network (i.e., hippocampus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex) and enhance emotional memory. However, little is known about how stress during learning might i...

Impaired cognitive functioning constitutes an important symptom of major depressive disorder (MDD), potentially associated with elevated cortisol levels. Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) enhance the risk for MDD and can contribute to disturbances in the stress systems, including cortisol and cognitive functions. In healthy participants, cortisol...
