Title: Within-trial persistence of learned behavior as a dissociable behavioral component in hippocampus-dependent memory tasks: a potential post-learning role of immature neurons in the adult dentate gyrus

My PhD study was supported by SINGA scholarship. With this helpful support, I could focus my work without having concern about living expenses in Singapore. I appreciate my supervisor Asst Prof. Ayumu Tashiro for kindly accepting me as a PhD student and giving me learning opportunities in the lab, while being patient with my poor English skill. This study was done with other lab members. Alessandro Luchetti and Masato Uemura worked for establishing ablation method and conducting water maze experiment.
