Higher Mental Functions of Brain: Learning and Memory01:26

Higher Mental Functions of Brain: Learning and Memory

668
Memory is one of the most vital higher mental functions of the brain. Memory is closely related to learning because it enables us to retain information and experiences from our past to use them in our present life. It also helps us to remember facts, events, and skills, such as riding a bike or swimming. There are two types of memory — declarative memory, which involves memorizing facts or events, and procedural memory, which enables us to remember how to do something like writing or...

Long-term Depression01:03

Long-term Depression

2.5K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Role of Amygdala in Memory01:16

Role of Amygdala in Memory

160
The amygdala is a small, almond-shaped structure responsible for processing and storing memories, particularly those linked to emotions like fear and stress. It plays an essential role in the brain's response to emotionally significant events and often enhances memory formation by triggering stress hormone release. The amygdala is vital for encoding and retrieving memories associated with fear or stress, a process that is adaptive by helping organisms avoid dangerous situations.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Molecular Biology
  • Proteomics

Background:

  • Long-term memory (LTM) formation requires new protein synthesis, but the specific proteins involved are not fully understood.
  • The pond snail, *Lymnaea stagnalis*, offers a model system to investigate LTM mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify proteins critical for LTM formation using a transcriptome-guided proteomic approach.
  • To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying LTM in *Lymnaea stagnalis*.

Main Methods:

  • Aversive operant conditioning was used to induce LTM in *Lymnaea stagnalis*.
  • Transcriptome-guided proteomic analysis was performed on the central nervous system (CNS) of animals with and without LTM, and controls.
  • Differentially expressed proteins were identified and functionally annotated.

Main Results:

  • 366 differentially expressed proteins were linked to LTM formation.
  • 88 proteins were upregulated and 36 downregulated in LTM compared to controls.
  • Proteins involved in proteasome activity and translation initiation, including EIF2D, were upregulated, suggesting a balance between protein synthesis and degradation is vital for LTM.

Conclusions:

  • This study provides the first transcriptome-guided proteomic analysis of LTM formation in *Lymnaea stagnalis*.
  • The findings highlight the importance of protein synthesis and degradation balance for LTM.
  • Nuclear factor Y is implicated as a potential regulator of LTM-related transcription, paving the way for identifying mammalian LTM orthologs.
