103.2 Role of adult-born hippocampal neurons in learning and memory
Chair: Nora Abrous
The discovery of a continuous renewal of neurons in the adult mammalian brain has been a long process. After two decades of extensive research, the existence of adult neurogenesis (ANg) in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus is definitely proven. Accumulating evidence indicates that there is a bidirectional relationship between memory and ANg: how and to which extent learning modifies new neurons connectivity, when new neurons contribute to memory and to which memory processes, how alterations of ANg by early life stress determine age-related memory decline, are extensively debated questions. This symposium will concentrate on the role of ANg in the physiology and physiopathology of memory by bringing together recent advances in this field.

203.4 Novel role of the endocannabinoid system in stress-induced neuronal function and memory
Chair: Benno Roozendaal
Neuroscience research has shed light on the impact of stress and emotion on the brain. Recent discoveries indicate that the endocannabinoid system is playing a paramount role in governing the effects of stress and stress hormones on neuronal adaptation and plasticity underlying different physiological and behavioral functions, including learning and memory. Endocannabinoids further modulate susceptibility to stress-related psychiatric disorders, and novel drug development selectively targeting the endocannabinoid system is emerging as a promising therapeutic intervention. This symposium will provide an overview of the intriguing role of the endocannabinoid system in stress-induced changes in neuronal function and learning and memory.

405.5 The Dark Side of Memory: Pathological Persistence and Insensitivity to Consequences in Addiction
Chairs: Marcelo Wood
Learning & memory play fundamental roles in drug addiction, and here we provide several perspectives on this topic. Wood will moderate. See will contextualize the history and theory behind rodent drug self-administration/relapse models, highlighting roles for oxytocin in these processes. Suto will discuss PFC engrams that promote or suppress drug seeking, using new tools for activity-defined gene expression and neurochemical profiling. Contet will discuss parasubthalamic nucleus as a node of the neuronal network activated during ethanol withdrawal. Fowler will discuss neural substrates controlling nicotine reward and aversion, and how these impact addiction, relapse, and comorbid psychiatric disorders.
