A new behavioural apparatus to reduce animal numbers in multiple types of spontaneous object recognition paradigms in rats (2012)
Journal Article
Ameen-Ali, K., Eacott, M., & Easton, A. (2012). A new behavioural apparatus to reduce animal numbers in multiple types of spontaneous object recognition paradigms in rats. Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 211(1), 66-76. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jneumeth.2012.08.006

Standard object recognition procedures assess animals’ memory through their spontaneous exploration of novel objects or novel configurations of objects with other aspects of their environment. Such tasks are widely used in memory research, but also i...

The episodic nature of episodic-like memories (2012)
Journal Article
Easton, A., Webster, L., & Eacott, M. (2012). The episodic nature of episodic-like memories. Learning & Memory, 19(4), 146-150. https://doi.org/10.1101/lm.025676.112

Studying episodic memory in nonhuman animals has proved difficult because definitions in humans require conscious recollection. Here, we assessed humans’ experience of episodic-like recognition memory tasks that have been used with animals. It was fo... Read More about The episodic nature of episodic-like memories.

A specific role for septohippocampal acetylcholine in memory? (2012)
Journal Article
Easton, A., Douchamps, V., Eacott, M., & Lever, C. (2012). A specific role for septohippocampal acetylcholine in memory?. Neuropsychologia, 50(13), 3156-3168. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2012.07.022

Acetylcholine has long been implicated in memory, including hippocampal-dependent memory, but the specific role for this neurotransmitter is difficult to identify in human neuropsychology. Here, we review the evidence for a mechanistic model of acety... Read More about A specific role for septohippocampal acetylcholine in memory?.
