Hybrid vigour and maternal environment in mice. III. Hippocampal mossy fibres and behaviour.

چکیده
Inbred BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice as well as their F1 hybrids were reared in either an inbred or hybrid maternal environment prenatally and/or postnatally, and were later tested for several behaviours prior to histological study of the brain at 100 days after birth. Whereas measures of spatial memory showed hybrid vigour or overdominance, measures of hippocampal mossy fibres showed intermediate inheritance. Brain-behaviour correlations within a strain were generally very small, and effects of maternal environment on hippocampal morphology were not significant.

Hybrid vigour and maternal environment in mice
A combination of ovarian grafting and fostering was used to study the effects of preand postnatal maternal factors on adult behaviour. Inbred mice (BALB/c and C57BL/6) and F1 hybrids were compared to assess differential sensitivity to early maternal effects. In addition to the peculiar behavioural profile of BALB mice, results revealed the existence of a cognitive process in mice and confirmed ...

Title Less stimulating environmental conditions decrease spatial learning ability and reduce GAP-43 and synaptophysin immunostaining in the hippocampal formation in adult male mice 1 Environmental conditions affect learning ability and cause neuroanatomical alterations of neu-rons and synapses in the hippocampal formation. We reared male mice in standard, enriched and wheel-running environments...
متن کاملSynapsin- and Actin-Dependent Frequency Enhancement in Mouse Hippocampal Mossy Fiber Synapses
The synapsin proteins have different roles in excitatory and inhibitory synaptic terminals. We demonstrate a differential role between types of excitatory terminals. Structural and functional aspects of the hippocampal mossy fiber (MF) synapses were studied in wild-type (WT) mice and in synapsin double-knockout mice (DKO). A severe reduction in the number of synaptic vesicles situated more than...

Methods to score adequately male mouse aggressive behaviour will be shortly summarised. As an example of ethologically-grounded evaluation, twenty feralized male mice (of a strain characterised by large variability in hippocampal mossy fibers projections) were trapped from a colony living in outdoor large enclosure (300 m2) in western Russia. Twenty control male subjects (of the same origin but...
متن کاملExploration, emotionality, and hippocampal mossy fibers in nonaggressive AB/Gat and congenic highly aggressive mice.
AB/Gat mice and congenic mice bred for high aggressiveness (CS/ag) were tested for exploratory behavior in novel situations and anxiety-related behavior, using an open-field test and the elevated plus-maze test. Subsequently, the size of hippocampal mossy fiber terminal fields was evaluated. Considerably higher exploratory activity was found in nonaggressive mice, whereas aggressive mice exhibi...
