Stress impairs decision-making in rats (2009)
Lauren K. Jones, Taejib Yoon, Jeansok J. Kim
Stress influences various types of memory, but its effects on other cognitive functions are relatively unknown. We investigated the effects of uncontrollable stress on subsequent decision-making in...
Prefrontal cortex and hippocampus subserve different components of working memory in rats (2008)
Yoon, Taejib, Okada, Jeffrey, Jung, Min W., Kim, Jeansok J.
Both the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and hippocampus are implicated in working memory tasks in rodents. Specifically, it has been hypothesized that the mPFC is primarily engaged in the temporary...
Kim, Jeansok J., Shih, Jean C., Chen, Kevin, Chen, Lu, Bao, Shaowen, Maren, Stephen, ...
Mice deficient in monoamine oxidase A (MAOA), an enzyme that metabolizes monoamines such as norepinephrine and serotonin, have elevated norepinephrine and serotonin levels in the frontal cortex,...
Selective enhancement of emotional, but not motor, learning in monoamine oxidase A-deficient mice
Kim, Jeansok J., Shih, Jean C., Chen, Kevin, Chen, Lu, Bao, Shaowen, Maren, Stephen, ...
Mice deficient in monoamine oxidase A (MAOA), an enzyme that metabolizes monoamines such as norepinephrine and serotonin, have elevated norepinephrine and serotonin levels in the frontal cortex,...
Cerebellar cortical inhibition and classical eyeblink conditioning
Bao, Shaowen, Chen, Lu, Kim, Jeansok J., Thompson, Richard F.
The cerebellum is considered a brain structure in which memories for learned motor responses (e.g., conditioned eyeblink responses) are stored. Within the cerebellum, however, the relative importance...
Effects of Stress and Hippocampal NMDA Receptor Antagonism on Recognition Memory in Rats
Baker, Kevin B., Kim, Jeansok J.
Exposures to uncontrollable stress have been shown to alter ensuing synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus and interfere with hippocampal-dependent spatial memory in rats. The present study examined...

Stress-induced alterations in hippocampal plasticity, place cells, and spatial memory
Kim, Jeansok J., Lee, Hongjoo J., Welday, Adam C., Song, EunYoung, Cho, Jeiwon, Sharp, Patricia E., ...
Acute, inescapable, and unpredictable stress can profoundly modify brain and cognition in humans and animals. The present study investigated the ensuing effects of 2-h variable “audiogenic”...
