Contribution of Hippocampal and Extra-Hippocampal NR2B-Containing NMDA Receptors to Performance on Spatial Learning Tasks
Controversy revolves around the differential contribution of NR2A- and NR2B-containing NMDA receptors, which coexist in principal forebrain neurons, to synaptic plasticity and learning in the adult brain. Here, we report genetically modified mice in which the NR2B subunit is selectively ablated in principal neurons of the entire postnatal forebrain or only the hippocampus. NR2B ablation resulte...
متن کاملThe role of hippocampal iron concentration and hippocampal volume in age-related differences in memory.
The goal of this study was to examine the relationships between 2 age-sensitive indices of brain integrity--volume and iron concentration--and the associated age differences in memory performance. In 113 healthy adults (age 19-83 years), we measured the volume and estimated iron concentration in the hippocampus (HC), caudate nucleus (Cd), and primary visual cortex (VC) in vivo with T2* relaxati...
متن کاملHippocampal volume in geriatric depression.
BACKGROUND There is a growing literature on the importance of hippocampal volume in geriatric depression. METHODS We examined hippocampal volume in a group of elderly depressed patients and a group of elderly control subjects (N = 66 geriatric depressed patients and 18 elderly nondepressed control subjects) recruited through Duke's Mental Health Clinical Research Center for the Study of Depre...
متن کاملPhysiology does not explain all sex differences in running performance.
S ex differences in elite athletic performance have been of long-standing interest to physiologists. For example, the 10%–12% sex gap observed for most running world records and elite competitions spurred numerous studies on the contributors to maximal oxygen consumption (4). Moreover , the sex gap varies substantially across sports and age groups, and this variation has stimulated further phys...
متن کاملHippocampal synapses depend on hippocampal estrogen synthesis.
Estrogens have been described to induce synaptogenesis in principal neurons of the hippocampus and have been shown to be synthesized and released by exactly these neurons. Here, we have focused on the significance of local estrogen synthesis on spine synapse formation and the synthesis of synaptic proteins. To this end, we reduced hippocampal estrogen synthesis in vitro with letrozole, a revers...
