Department of Psychology, University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign, Champaign, Illinois 61820, USA
Ann N Y Acad Sci 959:167-79. 2002..These results have important implications for the nature of glucose facilitation of memory and for the role of dietary factors in performance of many daily activities...- Estrogen-induced changes in place and response learning in young adult female ratsDonna L Korol
Department of Psychology and Neuroscience Program, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, 61820, USA
Behav Neurosci 116:411-20. 2002..These data suggest that the cognitive actions of estrogen may be task-specific by modulating the relative contribution of different learning and memory systems... - Epinephrine converts long-term potentiation from transient to durable form in awake ratsD L Korol
Department of Psychology, Neuroscience Program, and Institute for Genomic Biology, University of Illinois, Champaign, Illinois 61820, USA

Department of Psychology, Neuroscience Program, and Initiative on Aging, University of Illinois, 603 E Daniel Street, Urbana Champaign, IL, USA
Neurobiol Learn Mem 82:309-23. 2004..Changes in neuromodulators such as acetylcholine that regulate other processes such as inhibitory tone and excitability reflect one mechanism by which estrogen may orchestrate learning and memory... 
Estrogen modulates learning in female rats by acting directly at distinct memory systemsL Zurkovsky
Neuroscience Program, University of Illinois, Champaign, IL 61820, USA
Neuroscience 144:26-37. 2007..These data demonstrate that estrogen modulates place and response learning at the hippocampus and striatum respectively, most likely through independent actions at these two structures...
Intra-striatal estradiol in female rats impairs response learning within two hours of treatmentL Zurkovsky
Neuroscience Program, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, 505 South Goodwin Avenue, Urbana, IL 61801, USA
Horm Behav 60:470-7. 2011..Thus, estradiol acts within hours of exposure in the striatum, a structure lacking classical estrogen receptors, to impair response learning...- Glucose, memory, and agingD L Korol
Department of Psychology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville 22903, USA
Am J Clin Nutr 67:764S-771S. 1998..Consequently, the issue of nutrition and cognition becomes increasingly important in light of evidence that circulating glucose concentrations have substantial effects on brain and cognitive functions... - Selective sparing of brain tissue in postmenopausal women receiving hormone replacement therapyKirk I Erickson
Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, 61801, USA
Neurobiol Aging 26:1205-13. 2005..HRT should be considered a possible mediator of age-related neural decline in both grey and white matter tissues... - Interactive effects of fitness and hormone treatment on brain health in postmenopausal womenKirk I Erickson
Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, 405 N Mathews Avenue, Urbana, IL 61801, USA
Neurobiol Aging 28:179-85. 2007.... - Shifts in preferred learning strategy across the estrous cycle in female ratsDonna L Korol
Department of Psychology and Neuroscience Program, University of Illinois, Champaign, IL 61820 USA
Horm Behav 45:330-8. 2004..Conversely, estrous rats were biased toward response strategies. The data suggest that natural fluctuations in ovarian steroids may bias the neural system used and thus the cognitive strategies chosen during learning and memory... - Dietary genistein results in larger MNU-induced, estrogen-dependent mammary tumors following ovariectomy of Sprague-Dawley ratsClinton D Allred
Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801, USA
Carcinogenesis 25:211-8. 2004..The data suggest that in an endogenous estrogen environment similar to that of a postmenopausal woman, dietary genistein can stimulate the growth of a mammary carcinogen MNU-induced estrogen-dependent mammary tumors... - Effects of chronic estradiol treatment on delayed spatial alternation and differential reinforcement of low rates of respondingVictor C Wang
Neuroscience Program, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, Urbana, IL, USA
Behav Neurosci 122:794-804. 2008..These data suggest that chronic estrogen exposure may impair rats' abilities on measures of executive function including working memory and response inhibition... - Intrahippocampal muscimol shifts learning strategy in gonadally intact young adult female ratsMolly W McElroy
Neuroscience Program and Department of Psychology, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, Illinois 61820, USA
Learn Mem 12:150-8. 2005..The enhanced use of hippocampus-sensitive strategies at proestrus likely results from reduced hippocampal inhibition... - Acute stress impairs spatial memory in male but not female rats: influence of estrous cycleCheryl D Conrad
Department of Psychology, Arizona State University, Box 1104, Tempe, AZ 85287 1104, USA
Pharmacol Biochem Behav 78:569-79. 2004..No differences in corticosterone levels were observed at baseline or following 2 h of recovery from restraint. These data show important differences in how sex and estrous cycle influence cognitive functions following acute stress... - Estrogen modulates place learning through estrogen receptors in the hippocampusLilia Zurkovsky
Neuroscience Program, University of Illinois, Champaign, IL 61820, USA
Neurobiol Learn Mem 86:336-43. 2006..These data suggest that ICI may have some mixed agonist and antagonist effects in the hippocampus and that estrogen enhances place learning through activation of estrogen receptors located in the hippocampus...
