Abstract EN
Encoding for several memory types requires neural changes and the activity of distinct regions across the brain.
These areas receive broad projections originating in nuclei located in the brainstem which are capable of modulating the activity of a particular area.
The histaminergic system is one of the major modulatory systems, and it regulates basic homeostatic and higher functions including arousal, circadian, and feeding rhythms, and cognition.
There is now evidence that histamine can modulate learning in different types of behavioral tasks, but the exact course of modulation and its mechanisms are controversial.
In the present paper we review the involvement of the histaminergic system and the effects histaminergic receptor agonists/antagonists have on the performance of tasks associated with the main memory types as well as evidence provided by studies with knockout models.
Thus, we aim to summarize the possible effects histamine has on modulation of circuits involved in memory formation.
