In mouse brain, kf-1 mRNA is detected predominantly in the hippocampus and cerebellum, and...Mon, 08 Sep 2008 00:00:00 +0100Impairment of context memory by β-amyloid peptide in terrestrial snailhttp://www.frontiersin.org/behavioralneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.08/003.2008/Status : Accepted<br> Abstract: We examined influence of the β-amyloid peptide (25-35) neurotoxic fragment (βAP) on Helix lucorum food-aversion learning. Testing with aversively conditioned carrot showed that 2, 5, and 14 days after training the βAP-injected group re...Thu, 04 Sep 2008 10:20:38 +0100CRF1 receptor activation increases the response of neurons in the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala to afferent stimulationhttp://www.frontiersin.org/behavioralneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.08/002.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: The basolateral nucleus (BLA) of the amygdala contributes to the consolidation of memories for emotional or stressful events. The nucleus contains a high density of CRF1 receptors that are activated by corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF). Modulati...Wed, 16 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100Lack of connexin43-mediated Bergmann glial gap junctional coupling does not affect cerebellar long-term depression, motor coordination, or eyeblink conditioninghttp://www.frontiersin.org/behavioralneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.08/001.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Bergmann glial cells are specialized astrocytes in the cerebellum. In the mature cerebellar molecular layer, Bergmann glial processes are closely associated with Purkinje cells, enclosing Purkinje cell dendritic synapses with a glial sheath. There is...Wed, 23 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0100Understanding the logics of pheromone processing in the honeybee brain: from labeled-lines to across-fiber patternshttp://www.frontiersin.org/behavioralneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.08/005.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Honeybees employ a very rich repertoire of pheromones to ensure intraspecific communication in a wide range of behavioral contexts. This communication can be complex, since the same compounds can have a variety of physiological and behavioral effects...Mon, 31 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0000Impaired associative fear learning in mice with complete loss or haploinsufficiency of AMPA GluR1 receptorshttp://www.frontiersin.org/behavioralneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.08/004.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: There is compelling evidence that L-alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionate (AMPA) glutamate receptors containing the GluR1 subunit contribute to the molecular mechanisms associated with learning. AMPA GluR1 glutamate receptor...Sun, 30 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0000Paradoxical role of an Egr transcription factor family member, Egr2/Krox20, in learning and memoryhttp://www.frontiersin.org/behavioralneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.08/006.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: It is well established that Egr1/zif268, a member of the Egr family of transcription factors, is critical for the consolidation of several forms of memories. Recently, the Egr3 family member has also been implicated in learning and memory. Because Eg...Sun, 30 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0000Hippocampal network activity is transiently altered by induction of long-term potentiation in the dentate gyrus of freely behaving ratshttp://www.frontiersin.org/behavioralneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.08/007.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: A role for oscillatory activity in hippocampal neuronal networks has been proposed in sensory encoding, cognitive functions and synaptic plasticity. In the hippocampus, theta (5–10 Hz) and gamma (30–100 Hz) oscillations may provide a mech...Sun, 30 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0000Emotion and cognition in high and low stress sensitive mouse strains: a combined neuroendocrine and behavioral study in BALB/c and C57BL/6J micehttp://www.frontiersin.org/behavioralneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.08/008.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Emotionally arousing experiences and stress influence cognitive processes and vice versa. Understanding the relations and interactions between these three systems forms the core of this study. We tested two inbred mouse strains (BALB/c, C57BL/6J; mal...Sun, 30 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0000Social approach behaviors are similar on conventional <i>versus</i> reverse lighting cycles, and in replications across cohorts, in BTBR T+ tf/J, C57BL/6J, and vasopressin receptor 1B mutant micehttp://www.frontiersin.org/behavioralneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.08/001.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Mice are a nocturnal species, whose social behaviors occur primarily during the dark phase of the circadian cycle. However, laboratory rodents are frequently tested during their light phase, for practical reasons. We investigated the question of whet...Fri, 02 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0000Polymorphism of the 5-HT<sub>2A</sub> receptor gene: Association with stress-related indices in healthy middle-aged adultshttp://www.frontiersin.org/behavioralneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.08/003.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Past research has concentrated on the stress system and personality in order to explain the variance found in cognitive performance in old age. A growing body of research is starting to focus on genetic polymorphism as an individual difference factor...Fri, 02 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0000
