Hilar GABAergic Interneuron Activity Controls Spatial Learning and Memory Retrieval
BACKGROUND Although extensive research has demonstrated the importance of excitatory granule neurons in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus in normal learning and memory and in the pathogenesis of amnesia in Alzheimer's disease (AD), the role of hilar GABAergic inhibitory interneurons, which control the granule neuron activity, remains unclear. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We explored ...
متن کاملHilar interneuron vulnerability distinguishes aged rats with memory impairment.
Hippocampal interneuron populations are reportedly vulnerable to normal aging. The relationship between interneuron network integrity and age-related memory impairment, however, has not been tested directly. That question was addressed in the present study using a well-characterized model in which outbred, aged, male Long-Evans rats exhibit a spectrum of individual differences in hippocampal-de...
متن کاملSynaptic connectivity of distinct hilar interneuron subpopulations.
Dual intracellular recordings of hilar interneurons and CA3 pyramidal cells were performed in transverse slices of guinea pig hippocampus in the presence of the convulsant compound 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) and ionotropic glutamate receptor antagonists. Under these conditions, interneurons burst fire synchronously, producing synchronized inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (sIPSPs) in pyramidal cel...
متن کاملApolipoprotein E4 Causes Age- and Sex-Dependent Impairments of Hilar GABAergic Interneurons and Learning and Memory Deficits in Mice
Apolipoprotein (apo) E4 is the major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). ApoE4 has sex-dependent effects, whereby the risk of developing AD is higher in apoE4-expressing females than males. However, the mechanism underlying the sex difference, in relation to apoE4, is unknown. Previous findings indicate that apoE4 causes age-dependent impairments of hilar GABAergic interneurons in...
متن کاملKisspeptin-13 Improves Spatial Memory Consolidation and Retrieval against Amyloid-β Pathology
It has been shown that brain glucose metabolism impairment, obesity, and diabetes couldlead to cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis. Kisspeptin (KP) a G-proteincoupled receptor neuropeptide, has been suggested as a link between energy balance andreproduction. Some studies have shown that the attenuation of KP signaling decreases metabolismand energ...
