Effects of Subchronic Treatment with Ibuprofen and Nimesulide on Spatial Memory and NMDAR Subunits Expression in Aged Rats
Several studies point to an important function of cyclooxygenase (COX) and prostaglandin signaling in models of synaptic plasticity which is associated with N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs). Cyclooxygenase gene is suggested to be an immediate early gene that is tightly regulated in neurons by NMDA dependent synaptic activity. Nonsteroid Antiinflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) exert their antiinf...

متن کاملNitric Oxide Signaling Exerts Bidirectional Effects on Plasticity Inductions in Amygdala
It has been well known that long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission in the lateral nucleus of the amygdala (LA) constitutes an essential cellular mechanism contributing to encoding of conditioned fear. Nitric oxide (NO), produced by activation of the postsynaptic N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR) in thalamic input to the LA, has been thought to promote LTP, contributing to th...
متن کاملLong-term potentiation and the role of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are known for their role in the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP). Here we start by reviewing the early evidence for their role in LTP at CA1 synapses in the hippocampus. We then discuss more recent evidence that NMDAR dependent synaptic plasticity at these synapses can be separated into mechanistically distinct components. An initial phase of the...
متن کاملAblation of Ca2+ channel beta3 subunit leads to enhanced N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-dependent long term potentiation and improved long term memory.
The beta subunits of voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels (VDCCs) have marked effects on the properties of the pore-forming alpha(1) subunits of VDCCs, including surface expression of channel complexes and modification of voltage-dependent kinetics. Among the four different beta subunits, the beta(3) subunit (Ca(v)beta3) is abundantly expressed in the hippocampus. However, the role of Ca(v)beta3 i...
