Nogo-A-deficient Transgenic Rats Show Deficits in Higher Cognitive Functions, Decreased Anxiety, and Altered Circadian Activity Patterns
Decreased levels of Nogo-A-dependent signaling have been shown to affect behavior and cognitive functions. In Nogo-A knockout and knockdown laboratory rodents, behavioral alterations were observed, possibly corresponding with human neuropsychiatric diseases of neurodevelopmental origin, particularly schizophrenia. This study offers further insight into behavioral manifestations of Nogo-A knockd...
متن کاملSynthetic microRNA-mediated downregulation of Nogo-A in transgenic rats reveals its role as regulator of synaptic plasticity and cognitive function.
We have generated a transgenic rat model using RNAi and used it to study the role of the membrane protein Nogo-A in synaptic plasticity and cognition. The membrane protein Nogo-A is expressed in CNS oligodendrocytes and subpopulations of neurons, and it is known to suppress neurite growth and regeneration. The constitutively expressed polymerase II-driven transgene was composed of a microRNA-ta...
متن کاملInterrelationship between Androgen Levels, Ageing, and Cognitive Functions
As men get older, there is a decline in functioning of many biological systems; the endocrine systems share such changes in hormone levels. Ageing in men is accompanied by progressive, but individually variable decline in serum testosterone production in healthy men especially in men over 60 years of age. Androgens determine the differentiation of male internal and external genitalia as well as...
متن کاملNeuroprotective Effects of Myricitrin on Cognitive Deficits in Hippacampal Demyelinated Rats
Background and purpose: Multiple sclerosis (MS) as an autoimmune disease is the most common demyelinating inflammatory disease in young people that affects the central nervous system. Myricitrin (MYR) is known to have antioxidant and neuroprotection effects, so, the current study investigated its effect on cognitive defects in rat models of MS. Materials and methods: In this experimental study...
متن کاملAgeing or NOT, clock genes are important for memory processes: an interesting hypothesis raising many questions
and retrieval are temporally regulated events. An intrinsic circadian (circa: about; dies: day) timing system influencing the dynamics in memory processing has been detected in animal models, ranging from invertebrates to mammalian species. Several recent investigations, addressing the molecular mechanism behind the circadian modulation of mnemonic processes shed light onto pathways known to be...
