We tested evidence that RAG1 plays a role in brain function using a social recognition memory task, an assessment of the acquisition and retention of conspecific identity.
Facebook is becoming a social memory of connected lives, an immutable machine of social truth.
Use a social network search utility.
Optionally, use a social media sharing option.
These were evaluated using social memory.
The best performance is achieved under the condition when agents use individual memory as their primary information source, and simultaneously use social memory as their searching guidance.
Using a recognition memory paradigm, we tested memory for pictures versus words in these patients.
Memory problems were captures using a memory self-report instrument [ 27].
Patki et al. [ 125], using a resident-intruder (social defeat) model of social stress, observed a significant decrease in the body weight and long-term memory impairments in the socially defeated rats compared to controls.
We closely followed the protocol we have used previously, which tested social memory at zero and 30 min delays, allowing comparison with other lesion studies (Bannerman et al., 2001, 2002b).
