Preparation of Synaptosomes from the Motor Cortex of Motor Skill Trained Mice.

چکیده
Learning and memory are thought to occur due to changes in synaptic strength. Strengthening of synapses due to Long Term Potentiation mechanisms are mediated by increases in synaptic α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR) levels. Here we describe a protocol to isolate and quantify synaptic AMPAR subunit GluA1 levels from the motor cortex of mice which have undergone motor skill training.

بررسی اثر تحریکات الکتریکی مغز بر میزان یادگیری و مهارت حرکتی در افراد سالمند سالم: مروری نظام مند
Background and purpose: Aging is associated with brain changes and reduction in motor skill acquisi­tion that can limit its functional capacity. One of the effective interventions is using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). The aim of this systematic review was to assess the effect of tDCS on learning and motor skill in healthy older adults. Materials and methods: A litera...
متن کاملAltered structural and functional synaptic plasticity with motor skill learning in a mouse model of fragile X syndrome.
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common inherited intellectual disability. FXS results from a mutation that causes silencing of the FMR1 gene, which encodes the fragile X mental retardation protein. Patients with FXS exhibit a range of neurological deficits, including motor skill deficits. Here, we have investigated motor skill learning and its synaptic correlates in the fmr1 knock-out (KO)...
متن کاملEffect of variability of combined practice (physical and positive self-modeling) on memory reconsolidation and motor skill transfer in children
In this study we manipulate structure of combined practice (physical along with self-modeling of positive self-review) to examine its effects on motor memory reconsolidation process and motor transfer in children. 36 female students (9-12 years old) from Maktabi elementary school of Qom trained Dart throwing. Of the 15 trials (from 1.5, 2, and 2.5 meters in blocked order), Positive self-re...
متن کاملReduced Motor Cortex Activity during Movement Preparation following a Period of Motor Skill Practice
Experts in a skill produce movement-related cortical potentials (MRCPs) of smaller amplitude and later onset than novices. This may indicate that, following long-term training, experts require less effort to plan motor skill performance. However, no longitudinal evidence exists to support this claim. To address this, EEG was used to study the effect of motor skill training on cortical activity ...
متن کاملRotarod training in mice is associated with changes in brain structure observable with multimodal MRI
The brain has been shown to remain structurally plastic even throughout adulthood. However, little is known how motor-skill training affects different MRI modalities in the adult mouse brain. The aim of this study is to investigate whether rotarod training, a simple motor training task taken from the standard test battery, is associated with structural plasticity observable with different MRI m...
