Effects of different post-encoding stress intensities on short-term recognition memory in rats: The endocannabinoid buffering
Stress-induced changes in corticosterone affect memory. The endocannabinoid system appears as an emotional buffer in stress regulation. We evaluated how different stress intensities after encoding influence rat short-term memory in an object recognition task, whether the effects depend on circadian variation of corticosterone and if exogenous augmentation of anandamide levels could restore any observed impairment.
