A necessity for MAP kinase activation in mammalian spatial learning.
Although the biochemical mechanisms underlying learning and memory have not yet been fully elucidated, mounting evidence suggests that activation of protein kinases and phosphorylation of their downstream effectors plays a major role. Recent findings in our laboratory have shown a requirement for the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade in hippocampal synaptic plasticity. Therefore, ...
متن کاملMAP kinase activation in macrophages.
Stimulation of macrophages by a variety of agents causes activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). Activation of MAPKs by lipopolysaccharide involves CD14 and Toll receptors. Subsequent steps still remain to be explored. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced activation of MAPKs has been shown to involve the death domain proteins (TRADD, FADD, MADD) and TRAFs. Other mole...
متن کاملScaffold proteins in mammalian MAP kinase cascades.
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, which is conserved from yeast to humans, is activated in response to a variety of extra- and intracellular stimuli, and plays key roles in multiple cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The MAPK pathway transmits its signal through the sequential phosphorylation of MAPK kinase kinase to MAPK ki...
متن کاملA Map of Pheromone Receptor Activation in the Mammalian Brain
In mammals, the detection of pheromones is mediated by the vomeronasal system. We have employed gene targeting to visualize the pattern of projections of axons from vomeronasal sensory neurons in the accessory olfactory bulb. Neurons expressing a specific receptor project to multiple glomeruli that reside within spatially restricted domains. The formation of this sensory map in the accessory ol...
متن کاملQualitative Spatial Reasoning for Topological Map Learning
In this article we investigate the application of qualitative spatial reasoning methods for learning the topological map of an unknown environment. We develop a topological mapping framework that achieves robustness against ambiguity in the available information by tracking all possible graph hypotheses simultaneously. We then exploit spatial reasoning to reduce the space of possible hypotheses...
