FosB Regulates Wheel Running
FosB is a transcription factor that accumulates in a regionspecific manner in the brain after chronic perturbations. For example, repeated administration of drugs of abuse increases levels of FosB in the striatum. In the present study, we analyzed the effect of spontaneous wheel running, as a model for a natural rewarding behavior, on levels of FosB in striatal regions. Moreover, mice that indu...
متن کاملMicroglia—A Wrench in the Running Wheel?
Increasing the amount of physical activity has been observed to ameliorate the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD), as well as enhance neurogenesis. Choi et al. in this issue of Neuron report that the expression of Presenilin 1 (PS1) variants, responsible for the early onset of familial AD, are capable of mitigating the regenerative effects associated with increased activity and environment...
متن کاملWheel running in the wild
The importance of exercise for health and neurogenesis is becoming increasingly clear. Wheel running is often used in the laboratory for triggering enhanced activity levels, despite the common objection that this behaviour is an artefact of captivity and merely signifies neurosis or stereotypy. If wheel running is indeed caused by captive housing, wild mice are not expected to use a running whe...
متن کاملA simple method for studying operant wheel running in rats.
A simple method for studying operant wheel running in rats. The present report describes an operant running device for rats. The apparatus makes use of an activity wheel driven by a small electric motor. The motor is started by a bar press; once activated, the wheel turns for 3-30 sec. depending on the setting of a timing device. The system is well suited to long term studies of activity patter...
متن کاملA model for "splitting" of running-wheel activity in hamsters.
Splitting of locomotor activity rhythm in hamsters occurs when the animals are exposed for several weeks to constant light. The authors propose a mathematical model that explains splitting in terms of a switch in the sign of coupling of two oscillators, from positive to negative, due to long-term exposure to constant light. The model assumes that the two oscillators are not identical and that t...
