Learning causes synaptogenesis, whereas motor activity causes angiogenesis, in cerebellar cortex of adult rats.
The role of the cerebellar cortex in motor learning was investigated by comparing the paramedian lobule of adult rats given difficult acrobatic training to that of rats that had been given extensive physical exercise or had been inactive. The paramedian lobule is activated during limb movements used in both acrobatic training and physical exercise. Acrobatic animals had greater numbers of synap...
متن کاملSynaptogenesis and Fos expression in the motor cortex of the adult rat after motor skill learning.
Recent work has suggested that changes in synapse number as well as changes in the expression of the Fos protein may occur within the motor cortex in association with motor learning. The number of synapses per neuron and the percentage of Fos-positive neurons within layer II/III of the rat motor cortex was measured after training on a complex motor learning task. Adult female rats were allocate...
متن کاملCauses and Consequences of Oscillations in the Cerebellar Cortex
Cerebellar high-frequency oscillations have been observed for many decades, but their underlying mechanisms have remained enigmatic. In this issue of Neuron, two papers indicate that specific intrinsic mechanisms in the cerebellar cortex contribute to the generation of these oscillations. Middleton et al. show that GABA(A) receptor activation and nonchemical transmission are required for nicoti...
متن کاملNeonatal uninephrectomy causes hypertension in adult rats.
This study was designed to test the hypothesis that a reduced number of nephrons from birth leads to increased arterial pressure in adulthood. Newborn Sprague-Dawley rat pups were uninephrectomized during the first 24 h after birth. In chronically instrumented adult animals (∼22 wk), mean arterial pressure on a normal (0.20%)-Na+ diet was higher in uninephrectomized rats (133 ± 2 mmHg vs. 121 ±...
متن کاملPrenatal Mercuric Chloride Exposure Causes Developmental Deficits in Rat Cortex
Introduction: Environmental pollution with heavy metals such as mercury is a major health problem. Growing studies on the field have shown the deleterious effects of mercury on human and nonhuman nervous system, especially in infants, however the effects of prenatal exposure to mercuricchloride on cortical development are not yet well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the eff...
