The (Re)Discovery of the Unconscious: What We Have Learned from Neuroscience

Giuseppe De Benedittis, MD, PhD

Article Type: Review Article | First Published: 2023/09/17

While the unconscious mind is often viewed as the shadow of the "real" conscious mind, there is growing evidence that it is no less complex, intentional, or flexible than its conscious counterpart. Unconscious systems regulate a variety of cognitive processes which can influence behavior and emotions. Neuroscience has begun to investigate the neural correlates of these processes and their interactions with conscious processes....

Intracerebellar Microinjection of an H4 Agonist Impairs Memory Consolidation in Open Field and Rotarod Tasks in Mice

The cerebellum is known to participate in motor functions, but the role of the histaminergic system, and specifically the H4 receptors, in its functions is still unclear. In the present study, we investigated the effects of intravermis microinjections of an H4 receptor agonist (VUF-8430) on mice behavior undergoing a rotarod (Experiment 1) and open field (Experiment 2) test. The cerebellar vermis of male mice was implanted with a single guide cannula. All experiments were performed on two consec...
