CB2 Cannabinoid Receptor Knockout in Mice Impairs Contextual Long-Term Memory and Enhances Spatial Working Memory
Neurocognitive effects of cannabinoids have been extensively studied with a focus on CB1 cannabinoid receptors because CB1 receptors have been considered the major cannabinoid receptor in the nervous system. However, recent discoveries of CB2 cannabinoid receptors in the brain demand accurate determination of whether and how CB2 receptors are involved in the cognitive effects of cannabinoids. C...
متن کاملHypothalamic growth hormone secretagogue-receptor (GHS-R) expression is regulated by growth hormone in the rat.
Synthetic GH secretagogues (GHSs) act via a receptor (GHS-R) distinct from that for GH-releasing hormone (GHRH). We have studied the hypothalamic expression and regulation of this receptor by in situ hybridization using a homologous riboprobe for rat GHS-R. GHS-R mRNA is prominently expressed in arcuate (ARC) and ventromedial nuclei (VMN) and in hippocampus, but not in the periventricular nucle...
متن کاملGrowth hormone-releasing hormone as an agonist of the ghrelin receptor GHS-R1a.
Ghrelin synergizes with growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) to potentiate growth hormone (GH) response through a mechanism not yet fully characterized. This study was conducted to analyze the role of GHRH as a potential ligand of the ghrelin receptor, GHS-R1a. The results show that hGHRH(1-29)NH(2) (GHRH) induces a dose-dependent calcium mobilization in HEK 293 cells stably transfected with...
متن کاملFractionating spatial memory with glutamate receptor subunit-knockout mice.
In recent years, the contribution that different glutamate receptor subtypes and subunits make to spatial learning and memory has been studied extensively using genetically modified mice in which key proteins are knocked out. This has revealed dissociations between different aspects of spatial memory that were not previously apparent from lesion studies. For example, studies with GluA1 AMPAR [A...
متن کاملBmal1 Mice Exhibit Deficits in Learning and Memory Processes
The time-of-day effect on cognitive performance has been investigated by various behavioral tools and is supported by anecdotal evidence. However, the molecular details of the interaction between the circadian and cognitive systems remain underexplored. Recent studies suggest an endogenous slaveoscillator in the hippocampus, the primary seat of all learning and memory processes. Furthermore, in...
