Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type IV is a target gene of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway.

29 Nov 2009 Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV (CaMKIV) plays a key role in the regulation of calcium-dependent gene expression. The expression of CaMKIV and the activation of CREB regulated genes are involved in memory and neuronal survival. We ... Read more...

Alteration of theta timescale dynamics of hippocampal place cells by a cannabinoid is associated with memory impairment.

5 Oct 2009 The integrity of the hippocampus is critical for both spatial navigation and episodic memory, but how its neuronal firing patterns underlie those functions is not well understood. In particular, the modality by which hippocampal place cells ... Read more...

Lysosomal modulatory drugs for a broad strategy against protein accumulation disorders.

29 Sep 2009 Protein accumulation leads to CNS effects in Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, and other age-related disorders. Common mechanisms may contribute to the progressive pathology in the different protein accumulation disorders, and ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Hippocampus'

Definition: A curved elevation of gray matter extending the entire length of the floor of the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle (Dorland, 28th ed). The hippocampus, subiculum, and DENTATE GYRUS constitute the hippocampal formation. Sometimes authors include the ENTORHINAL CORTEX in the hippocampal formation.
