Given that CaMKII is a key molecule implicated in memory persistence and Orb2 regulates translation of CaMKII, we investigated whether Orb2 might function in memory consolidation by regulating synthesis of CaMKII.
We confirmed that old forager bees are characterized by a significant loss of function in memory acquisition when tested in the laboratory.
The present findings on the olfactory response to the natal stream water in the Dl area of sockeye salmon were in accordance with neurohistochemical [22], molecular biological [28], [29] and behavioral studies [32], [33] suggesting that the Dl area have important functions in spatial memory and learning-related behaviors of teleosts.
Although research has demonstrated that short-term improvement in memory function of adult rats can occur when the availability of precursors for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine is increased, little is known about whether memory function of adult rats can be permanently altered by precursor supplementation during early development.
Nicotine involvement in memory function of rats.
Epidemiological studies suggested that long term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has a protective effect in progression to AD, but recent large randomized clinical trials, using predominantly COX-2 selective drugs, have been largely disappointing and have not shown any improvement in memory function of AD patients (Aisen, 2002).
Greater evidence of neurological soft signs is associated with more severe impairment of executive attention and memory functions in a group of patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls independently.
Here we have investigated the role of HDAC6 in memory function and the pathogenesis of AD.
The hippocampus, which functions in consolidation of new memories, emotional responses, navigation, and spatial orientation, is affected early in AD.
The hippocampal formation is believed to play a central role in memory functions related to the representation of events.
