Involvement of the CA3–CA1 synapse in the acquisition of associative learning in behaving mice

A Gruart, MD Muñoz… - Journal of …, 2006 - Soc Neuroscience

Neuroprotection by two polyphenols following excitotoxicity and experimental ischemia

M Gottlieb, R Leal-Campanario… - Neurobiology of …, 2006 - Elsevier
Brain ischemia induces neuronal loss which is caused in part by excitotoxicity and free
radical formation. Here, we report that mangiferin and morin, two antioxidant polyphenols …

Activity‐dependent changes of the hippocampal CA3–CA1 synapse during the acquisition of associative learning in conscious mice

A Gruart, JM Delgado‐García - Genes, Brain and Behavior, 2007 - Wiley Online Library

electrophysiological mechanisms underlying learning and memory processes. Recent …

Associative learning and CA3–CA1 synaptic plasticity are impaired in D1R null, Drd1a−/− mice and in hippocampal siRNA silenced Drd1a mice

O Ortiz, JM Delgado-García, I Espadas… - Journal of …, 2010 - Soc Neuroscience
Associative learning depends on multiple cortical and subcortical structures, including

Mutation at the TrkB PLCγ-docking site affects hippocampal LTP and associative learning in conscious mice

A Gruart, C Sciarretta… - Learning & …, 2007 - learnmem.cshlp.org
Previous in vitro studies have characterized the electrophysiological properties and

Purkinje cell loss affects differentially the execution, acquisition and prepulse inhibition of skeletal and facial motor responses in Lurcher mice

E Porras‐García, J Cendelin… - European Journal of …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Adult heterozygous Lurcher mice show a degeneration of almost all Purkinje cells and 90%
of the granular cells of the cerebellum, resulting in ataxia or general deficits in motor …

PKMζ inhibition reverses learning-induced increases in hippocampal synaptic strength and memory during trace eyeblink conditioning

N Madroñal, A Gruart, TC Sacktor, JM Delgado-Garcia - PloS one, 2010 - journals.plos.org
A leading candidate in the process of memory formation is hippocampal long-term
potentiation (LTP), a persistent enhancement in synaptic strength evoked by the repetitive …

Aged wild-type and APP, PS1, and APP+ PS1 mice present similar deficits in associative learning and synaptic plasticity independent of amyloid load

A Gruart, JC López-Ramos, MD Muñoz… - Neurobiology of …, 2008 - Elsevier
Wild-type and single-transgenic (APP, PS1) and double-transgenic (APP+ PS1) mice were
studied at three different (3-, 12-, and 18-month-old) age periods. Transgenic mice had …
