  • Title: [Study of learning and memory processes in adult rats under conditions of intracerebral caspases inhibitors administration].

    Journal: Ross Fiziol Zh Im I M Sechenova; 2008 Apr; 94(4):361-70. PubMed ID: 18666630.
    Abstract:
    Effects of caspase inhibitors injected intracerebroventricularly or applicated to cerebellar vermis of adult rats on different types of learning and memory were studied. Pancaspase inhibitor z-VAD-fmk introduced into lateral cerebral ventriculi enhanced elaboration of long-term spatial memory in Morris water maze and stimulated habit alteration at the early stage of its formation. Caspase-3 inhibitor z-DEVD-CHO applied to cerebellar vermis enhanced the elaboration of acoustic startle habituation but had no effect on its storage and retrieval. These results indicate caspase participation in mechanisms of learning and memory both through influence on coupled processes of neurogenesis-apoptosis and through modulation of synaptic efficiency.
