Disturbed Processing of Contextual Information in HCN3 Channel Deficient Mice
Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channels (HCNs) in the nervous system are implicated in a variety of neuronal functions including learning and memory, regulation of vigilance states and pain. Dysfunctions or genetic loss of these channels have been shown to cause human diseases such as epilepsy, depression, schizophrenia, and Parkinson's disease. The physiological functions ...
متن کاملDisturbed progastrin processing in carboxypeptidase E-deficient fat mice.
The fat mouse strain exhibits a late-onset obesity syndrome associated with a mutation in the gene encoding carboxypeptidase E (CPE). Since CPE plays a central role in the biosynthesis of a number of regulatory peptides, including gastrin, we examined the biogenesis and processing of progastrin in fat/fat mice by measuring gastrin mRNA, carboxyamidated gastrin and its processing intermediates i...
متن کاملImpaired cued and contextual memory in NPAS2-deficient mice.
Neuronal PAS domain protein 2 (NPAS2) is a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) PAS domain transcription factor expressed in multiple regions of the vertebrate brain. Targeted insertion of a beta-galactosidase reporter gene (lacZ) resulted in the production of an NPAS2-lacZ fusion protein and an altered form of NPAS2 lacking the bHLH domain. The neuroanatomical expression pattern of NPAS2-lacZ was tem...
متن کاملEnhanced contextual fear memory in central serotonin-deficient mice.
Central serotonin (5-HT) dysregulation contributes to the susceptibility for mental disorders, including depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder, and learning and memory deficits. We report that the formation of hippocampus-dependent spatial memory is compromised, but the acquisition and retrieval of contextual fear memory are enhanced, in central 5-HT-deficient mice. Genetic del...
متن کاملQuantum-like Contextual Model of Processing of Information in Brain
We present a quantum-like model in that contexts (complexes of physical, mental, or social conditions) are represented by complex probability amplitudes. This approach gives the possibility to apply the quantum formalism for probabilities induced in any domain of science. In this paper we propose a model of brain functioning based on the quantum-like (QL) representation of mental contexts. In t...
