This work summarizes evidence for the role of RSC in processing fear-inducing context memories. Specifically, we discuss molecular, cellular, and network mechanisms by which RSC might contribute the processing of contextual fear memories. We focus on glutamatergic and cholinergic mechanisms underlying encoding, retrieval, and extinction of context-dependent fear. RSC mechanisms underlying retrieval of recently and remotely acquired memories are compared to memory mechanisms of anterior cortices. Due to the strong connectivity between hippocampus and RSC, we also compare the extent to which their mechanisms of encoding, retrieval, and extinction show overlap. At a theoretical level, we discuss the role of RSC in the framework of systems consolidation as well as retrieval-induced memory modulation. Lastly, we emphasize the implication of these findings for psychopathologies associated with neurological and psychiatric disorders. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved).

Does music counteract mental fatigue? A systematic review.

Introduction: Mental fatigue, a psychobiological state induced by prolonged and sustained cognitive tasks, impairs both cognitive and physical performance. Several studies have investigated strategies to counteract mental fatigue. However, potential health risks and contextual restrictions often limit these strategies, which hinder their practical application.

Background: The Apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE-ε4) allele is common in the population, but acts as the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). Despite the strength of the association, there is notable heterogeneity in the population including a strong modifying effect of genetic ancestry, with the APOE-ε4 allele showing a stronger association among individuals of European ancestry (EUR) compared to individuals of African ancestry (AFR). Given this heterogeneity, we sought to identify genetic modifiers of APOE-ε4 related to cognitive decline leveraging APOE-ε4 stratified and interaction genome-wide association analyses (GWAS).

Background: Spatial disorientation is an early symptom of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The hippocampus creates a cognitive map, wherein cells form firing fields in specific locations within an environment, termed place cells. Critically, place cells remain stable across visits to an environment, but change their firing rate or field location in a different environment.

Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, USA.
Background: While the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele is a well-known risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), not all carriers develop the condition, suggesting the presence of resilience and/or risk factors. The molecular signatures of resilience/risk in the brain, however, have not been thoroughly described, partly due to the scarcity of healthy APOEe4 carriers. This study addresses this gap using a novel multi-tissue, multi-omic dataset from the Religious Order Study and Memory and Aging Project cohorts highly enriched in APOEe4 carriers with and without LOAD.

Background: Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of mortality in females, while two-thirds of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients are female. AD and CVD share many genetic risk factors, one of them being apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype. Sex differences in APOE and AD are well-established; it is unclear if associations between APOE and CVD are sex-specific.
