Analysis of the synaptic basis underlying motor learning by mouse eyeblink conditioning
Description: To elucidate the molecular basis of motor learning, three paradigms of eyeblink conditioning (delay, trace and latent inhibition) were investigated by pharmacological treatment and/or genetically-engineered mice. In delay conditioning, endcannnabinoids 2-AG and anandamide are important for memory formation of eyeblink conditioning. Furthermore, this research clearly shown that multiple distinct molecular mechanisms exist for the expression and acquisition during eyeblink conditioning.
