Recalling an aversive experience by day-old chicks is not dependent on somatic protein synthesis.
Long-term memory is dependent on protein synthesis and inhibiting such synthesis following training results in amnesia for the task. Proteins synthesized during training must be transported to the synapse and disrupting microtubules with Colchicines, and hence, blocking transport, results in transient amnesia. Reactivating memory for a previously learned avoidance triggers a biochemical cascade...
متن کاملTask- and Time-Dependent Memory Enhancement by Dehydroepiandosterone in Day-Old Chicks
We have previously reported the presence of dehydroepiandosterone (DHEA) in the day-old-chick brain, and a role for it in enhanced memory formation. Here we confirm that intracerebral injections of DHEA 5 min before training on the weak passive avoidance task enhanced recall 24 hours after training. Recall per se on an appetitive visual categorization task was not altered by administration of D...
متن کاملSexing Day-Old Chicks on Small and Backyard Flocks
Vent sexing was developed in Japan and brought to North American poultry producers in the 1930s. Vent sexing is a skill that takes a long time to develop. It involves holding the chick upside down in one hand, expelling the fecal material, and everting (turning outward) the vent area. The producer can then look for the presence or absence of a rudimentary male sex organ. This process sounds muc...
متن کاملD-cycloserine causes transient enhancement of memory for a weak aversive stimulus in day-old chicks (Gallus domesticus).
The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor plays an important role in acquisition of memory after one-trial passive avoidance training in day-old chicks. Here, we examined the effect of D-cycloserine, a partial agonist of the glycine site on the NMDA receptor, on memory retention after training on weak aversive stimuli (10% methyl anthranilate). Bilateral, or unilateral, intracranial injections o...
متن کاملMuscle protein synthesis rate is altered in response to a single injection of insulin-like growth factor-I in seven-day-old Leghorn chicks.
To determine if a single injection of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) can affect muscle protein synthesis in chickens, 7-d-old male Single Comb White Leghorn chicks were injected s.c. with physiological saline (control) or 35 microg of recombinant human IGF-I. After 2 h 30 min, or 6, 12, or 24 h the chicks were injected with 3H-phenylalanine and killed, and the fractional synthesis rate (K...
