Gobbo F, Mitchell-Heggs R, Tse D, Al Omrani M, Spooner P, Schultz S, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2022 Oct; 119(44):e2212152119. PMID: 36279456
A challenge in spatial memory is understanding how place cell firing contributes to decision-making in navigation. A spatial recency task was created in which freely moving rats first became familiar...

Garcia-Font N, Mitchell-Heggs R, Saxena K, Gabbert C, Taylor G, Mastroberadino G, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2022 Jul; 119(31):e2107942119. PMID: 35881809
The study of social dominance interactions between animals offers a window onto the decision-making involved in establishing dominance hierarchies and an opportunity to examine changes in social behavior observed in...

Tse D, Norton A, Spooner P, Morris R
J Vis Exp . 2022 Feb; (180). PMID: 35188115
The event arena provides an optimal platform to investigate learning and memory. The appetitive everyday memory task described in this paper provides a robust protocol for the investigation of episodic...

Saxena K, Spooner P, Mitchell-Heggs R, Morris R
J Neurosci Methods . 2021 Mar; 355:109109. PMID: 33705854
Background: In vivo calcium imaging using a microendoscope is a state-of-the-art technique to study the cellular activity inside the brain of freely moving animals such as mice or rats. A...

Nonaka M, Fitzpatrick R, Lapira J, Wheeler D, Spooner P, Corcoles-Parada M, et al.
Eur J Neurosci . 2017 Jul; 46(4):1937-1953. PMID: 28677201
The testing of cognitive enhancers could benefit from the development of novel behavioural tasks that display better translational relevance for daily memory and permit the examination of potential targets in...

Genzel L, Rossato J, Jacobse J, Grieves R, Spooner P, Battaglia F, et al.
PLoS Biol . 2017 Jan; 15(1):e2000531. PMID: 28085883
While hippocampal and cortical mechanisms of memory consolidation have long been studied, their interaction is poorly understood. We sought to investigate potential interactions with respect to trace dominance, strengthening, and...

Takeuchi T, Duszkiewicz A, Sonneborn A, Spooner P, Yamasaki M, Watanabe M, et al.
Nature . 2016 Sep; 537(7620):357-362. PMID: 27602521
The retention of episodic-like memory is enhanced, in humans and animals, when something novel happens shortly before or after encoding. Using an everyday memory task in mice, we sought the...

Redondo R, Okuno H, Spooner P, Frenguelli B, Bito H, Morris R
J Neurosci . 2010 Apr; 30(14):4981-9. PMID: 20371818
Weakly tetanized synapses in area CA1 of the hippocampus that ordinarily display long-term potentiation lasting approximately 3 h (called early-LTP) will maintain a longer-lasting change in efficacy (late-LTP) if the...

Tse D, Langston R, Kakeyama M, Bethus I, Spooner P, Wood E, et al.
Science . 2007 Apr; 316(5821):76-82. PMID: 17412951
Memory encoding occurs rapidly, but the consolidation of memory in the neocortex has long been held to be a more gradual process. We now report, however, that systems consolidation can...
