An extensive series of experiments has implicated a restricted region the chick forebrain in learning process imprinting. The is intermediate and medial part hyperstriatum ventrale (IMHV). Previous studies have shown that training associated with an increase area postsynaptic density axospinous synapses left but not right IMHV. site high receptor density, at least some are excitatory. We found imprinting 59% N-methyl-D-aspartate-sensitive binding excitatory amino acid L-[3H]glutamic probably...
Abstract CD8+ T lymphocytes (TCD8+) play an important role in cellular immune responses. TCD8+ recognize MHC class I molecules complexed to peptides of 8 10 residues derived largely from cytosolic proteins. Proteins are generally thought be fragmented the cytoplasm and delivered nascent endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by a peptide transporter encoded MHC. To explore extent which induction vivo is limited proteolysis or transport into ER, mice were immunized with recombinant vaccinia viruses...
The intermediate and medial part of the hyperstriatum ventrale (IMHV) is a chick forebrain that critical for learning process imprinting may be site information storage. Chicks were either trained on an stimulus or dark-reared. Trained chicks classified as good poor learners by their preference score (a measure strength imprinting). A monoclonal antibody against immediate early gene product Fos was applied to sections through IMHV other regions. In IMHV, significantly more immunopositive...
Proponents of homeownership policies often argue that homeowners participate more actively in community life and civic affairs than renters. Although research suggests higher rates participation among homeowners, the underlying mechanisms driving this relationship are unclear. On one hand, locally dependent financial investments make their communities could lead them to as a means protecting principal investment. other stimulate by increasing residential stability, enabling households...
To study brain regions involved in familiarity discrimination, rats were shown sets of novel and familiar objects. On each trial two objects simultaneously to a rat so that one eye saw object while the other object. Thus seen with same conditions alertness movements. Activated neurones revealed by staining for products immediate early gene c-fos. Familiar stimuli activated significantly fewer than perirhinal cortex area TE temporal cortex, ventral lateral geniculate nucleus thalamus, but not...
The effect of imprinting, an early form exposure learning, on the phosphorylation state protein kinase C substrates myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate (MARCKS) and F1/43-kDa growth-associated (F1/GAP-43) was studied in two regions chick forebrain. One region, intermediate medial part hyperstriatum ventrale (IMHV), is probably a site long-term memory; other, wulst, contains somatic sensory visual projection areas. After significant increase MARCKS observed left IMHV but not right...
Imprinting is a type of learning by which an animal restricts its social preferences to object after exposure that object. Filial imprinting occurs shortly birth or hatching and sexual imprinting, around the onset maturity; both have sensitive periods. This review concerned mainly with filial imprinting. in domestic chick effective experimental system for investigating mechanisms underlying memory. Extensive evidence implicates restricted part forebrain, intermediate medial mesopallium...
Previous studies have shown that a restricted region of the chick forebrain (the intermediate and medial parts hyperstriatum ventrale, IMHV) is crucial for learning process imprinting. A learning-related increase in N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor binding has previously been left IMHV 8.5 hr after training with an imprinting stimulus. The present experiments showed this does not occur until 6-8.5 training: There was no significant change either or right less than 0.5, 3, 6 training. No...
The effects of the noradrenergic neurotoxin DSP4 on imprinting in domestic chicks were investigated. Chicks received either or distilled water and trained 60 hr after hatching by exposing them to a rotating red box stuffed jungle fowl. Noradrenaline concentration was determined Wulst medial basal forebrain samples. sample comprised mainly intermediate part hyperstriatum ventrale, region previously shown be intimately involved imprinting. treatment reduced noradrenaline levels about 65%....
