[HTML][HTML] Infection, systemic inflammation, and Alzheimer's disease

SL Lim, CJ Rodriguez-Ortiz, M Kitazawa - Microbes and infection, 2015 - Elsevier
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading cause of dementia among elderly. Yet, its etiology
remains largely unclear. In this review, we summarize studies that associate systemic infection …

Consolidation and reconsolidation of object recognition memory

I Balderas, CJ Rodriguez-Ortiz… - Behavioural Brain …, 2015 - Elsevier
In the first part of this review, we will present evidence showing a functional double dissociation

Determinants to trigger memory reconsolidation: The role of retrieval and updating information

CJ Rodriguez-Ortiz, F Bermúdez-Rattoni - Neurobiology of Learning and …, 2017 - Elsevier
Long-term memories can undergo destabilization/restabilization processes, collectively called
reconsolidation. However, the parameters that trigger memory reconsolidation are poorly …

[HTML][HTML] Generation of a humanized Aβ expressing mouse demonstrating aspects of Alzheimer's disease-like pathology

…, F Garcia, J Childs, CJ Rodriguez-Ortiz… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
The majority of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) cases are late-onset and occur sporadically, however

Protein synthesis underlies post-retrieval memory consolidation to a restricted degree only when updated information is obtained

CJ Rodriguez-Ortiz, V De la Cruz… - Learning & …, 2005 - learnmem.cshlp.org
Consolidation theory proposes that through the synthesis of new proteins recently acquired
memories are strengthened over time into a stable long-term memory trace. However, …
