This contrasts with some previous studies where increasing neurogenesis before training facilitated memory formation (for example, see refs 3, 4, 30).

Prevention -- frequent rehearsals, with liberal use of rest downtime (necessary anyway for memory formation, including for physical skills); self-hypnosis and paradoxical relaxation to calm down; scheduled review of performances to see what worked and what didn't; quick social connections to friends and family.
Up-regulation of Flotillin-1 after spatial learning in the mouse hippocampus is likely to reflect similar structural rearrangements including generation and maturation of dendritic spines, (24) necessary for long-term memory formation (see for review: (26)).
Thus, the dentate gyrus seems to be required for memory formation, but not for retrieving existing memories.
We therefore propose that different types of dopaminergic neurons might be involved in different types of signaling necessary for aversive and appetitive olfactory memory formation respectively, or for the retrieval of these memory traces.
In two separate experiments, recollection and free recall, both measures of hippocampus-dependent memory formation, were enhanced for words studied after a 5-min exposure to unrelated novel as opposed to familiar images depicting indoor and outdoor scenes.
