Learning-Induced Gene Expression in the Hippocampus Reveals a Role of Neuron -Astrocyte Metabolic Coupling in Long Term Memory.
We examined the expression of genes related to brain energy metabolism and particularly those encoding glia (astrocyte)-specific functions in the dorsal hippocampus subsequent to Wooden Dollhouse Accessories learning.Context-dependent avoidance behavior was tested in mice using the step-through Inhibitory Avoidance (IA) paradigm.Animals were sacrif
