We used the spatial object recognition (SOR) task in rats, and administered dihydrokainic acid (DHK), a selective GLT-1 inhibitor, in the dorsal hippocampus. While a strong training session induced long-term memory (LTM) formation, a weak training session induced short-term memory. Inhibiting GLT-1 around a weak SOR training session promoted SOR-LTM formation. This effect was prevented by the administration of a protein-synthesis inhibitor. Moreover, SOR-LTM promotion by DHK was dependent on hippocampal activity-related cytoskeletal protein (Arc) translation and on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) action, plasticity related proteins necessary for memory consolidation. Alternatively, DHK administration before a test session impaired SOR-LTM expression. This effect was prevented if Arc translation was pharmacologically blocked, but not by inhibiting BDNF action. Furthermore, if applied before a reactivation session, DHK impaired reconsolidation and this effect was not reversed by Arc translation inhibition.<br \/>\nThese findings reveal that hippocampal Arc and BDNF play a pivotal role in spatial memory processes, shedding light on the intricate molecular mechanisms of memory processes, governed by the activity of both neurons and glia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Riboldi Juan Gabriel | email: juangriboldi@gmail.com | Cognition, Behavior, and Memory<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-1952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-session-2","tag-cognition-behavior-and-memory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1952"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1952\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2297,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1952\/revisions\/2297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
