Cholinergic mechanisms of episodic memory: What specific behavioural tasks can tell us about specific neural mechanisms (2011)
Journal Article
Easton, A., & Eacott, M. J. (2013). Cholinergic mechanisms of episodic memory: What specific behavioural tasks can tell us about specific neural mechanisms. Brain Research Bulletin, 92, 21-28. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.brainresbull.2011.09.008

Understanding the neural basis of episodic memory is crucial for understanding how to treat memory loss in normal ageing as well as in disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. However, it is only recently that episodic memory has been able to be reliab...

Differential outcomes aid the formation of categorical relationships between stimuli (2011)
Journal Article
Easton, A., Child, S., & Lopez-Crespo, G. (2011). Differential outcomes aid the formation of categorical relationships between stimuli. Behavioural Brain Research, 222(1), 270-273. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2011.03.036

The differential outcome effect is when learning is enhanced through the application of different outcomes to different conditions of a task. Here we explore whether one difference in learning with differential outcomes is an enhanced categorisation...

Medial septal cholinergic neurons are necessary for context-place memory but not episodic-like memory (2011)
Journal Article
Easton, A., Fitchett, A., Eacott, M., & Baxter, M. (2011). Medial septal cholinergic neurons are necessary for context-place memory but not episodic-like memory. Hippocampus, 21(9), 1021-1027. https://doi.org/10.1002/hipo.20814

Loss of cholinergic cortical input is associated with diseases in which episodic memory impairment is a prominent feature, but the degree to which this neurochemical lesion can account for memory impairment in humans with neurodegenerative diseases r...
