Hippocampal long-term depression mediates spatial reversal learning in the Morris water maze.
Synaptic plasticity at hippocampal excitatory synapses has been proposed as the cellular mechanism underlying spatial learning and memory. However, most previous studies have focused on the role of long-term potentiation (LTP) in learning and memory, and much less is known about the role of long-term depression (LTD). Here, we report that hippocampal-dependent spatial learning in the Morris wat...
متن کاملDistinct epigenetic and gene expression changes in rat hippocampal neurons after Morris water maze training
Gene transcription and translation in the hippocampus is of critical importance in hippocampus-dependent memory formation, including during Morris water maze (MWM) learning. Previous work using gene deletion models has shown that the immediate-early genes (IEGs) c-Fos, Egr-1, and Arc are crucial for such learning. Recently, we reported that induction of IEGs in sparse dentate gyrus neurons requ...
متن کاملIntrahippocampal Anisomycin Impairs Spatial Performance on the Morris Water Maze.
UNLABELLED New memories are thought to be solidified (consolidated) by de novo synthesis of proteins in the period subsequent to learning. This view stems from the observation that protein synthesis inhibitors, such as anisomycin (ANI), administered during this consolidation period cause memory impairments. However, in addition to blocking protein synthesis, intrahippocampal infusions of ANI ca...
متن کاملMinocycline Improves Memory in Morris Water Maze Task in Intracerebroventricular Streptozotocin Infused Rats
In the present study, the effect of minocycline was studied against intracerebroventricular streptozotocin induced spatial memory deficit. Male wistar rats were injected with intracerebroventricular streptozotocin bilaterally. The rats were treated chronically with Minocycline (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg, ip) for 17 days starting from day 1 of streptozotocin injection in separate groups. The spatial m...
متن کاملMonitoring spatial learning and memory in Alzheimer's disease mouse models using the Morris Water Maze.
Mouse models of Alzheimer's Disease are essential for understanding how pathological cascades alter neural circuitry and eventually disrupt cognitive function. A key prerequisite for the use of such models, therefore, is the ability to accurately and reliably measure cognitive function. The Morris Water Maze has emerged in the field as the standard test for assessing spatial cognition. There ar...
